Polymer-Supported BINOL Ligand for the Titanium-Catalyzed Diethylzinc Addition to Aldehydes: A Remarkable Positive Influence of the Support on the Enantioselectivity of the Catalyst

Abstract
A new polymer-supported BINOL (1,1'-Bi-2-naphthol) was synthesized by coupling of aminomethyl polystyrene resin and (S)-2, 2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid. This new ligand was found to be more enantioselective for the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes than its "free" analog [Ti(BINOL)(i)PrO(2)]. A range of 57-99% ee's as well as 78-97% yields was obtained, and the electronic properties of the enantioselectivity were also observed.
