ChemInform Abstract: Chiral Linear Polymers Bonded Alternatively with Salen and 1,4-Dialkoxybenzene: Synthesis and Application for Ti-Catalyzed Asymmetric TMSCN Addition to Aldehydes.
Abstract
A polymeric titanium/salen catalyst (ca. 15 repeating units) promotes the asymmetric addition of TmsCN to aldehydes with enantioselectivities comparable to those of the corresponding monomeric catalyst.
