Asymmetric synthesis of α-substituted o-methoxybenzyl alcohols via stereoselective additions to kinetically resolved o-anisaldehyde(tricarbonyl)chromium

Abstract
Homochiral (+)-o-anisaldehyde(tricarbonyl)chromium, prepared by a kinetic resolution procedure involving selective hydrolysis of the diastereoisomeric L-valinol derived imines, undergoes completely stereoselective addition reactions with methyl- and ethyl-magnesium iodide to give enantiomerically pure (–)-(S)-1-(o-methoxyphenyl)ethanol and (–)-(S)-1-(o-methoxyphenyl)propanol.
