Abstract

diastereoselectivity found for the reactions carried out with cinnamyl alcohol is modest and seems to depend on the steric bulk of the alkyl chain of the aldehydes and ranges from syn: anti= 1: 18 (cyclo-C6H11CHO) to 1: 2 (nC 5H11CHO). It is worth noting that, despite insitu formation of zinc alkoxides, no aldol-, Cannizzaro-, or Tischchenko-type products were detected at all in these reactions. We envisaged that the reaction conditions that were ...
