An N-sulfonylated beta-amino alcohol (R,S,S,R)-9 with four stereogenic centers is prepared. The titanium complex of 9 is an effective catalyst to induce excellent enantioselectivities for diethylzinc addition to aromatic aldehydes with ee values up to 99%. The feature of doubling the quantity of Ti(O-i-Pr)4 required relative to the catalytic system of the Ti complex of bidentate N-sulfonylated beta-amino alcohols suggests that the two N-sulfonylated beta-amino alcohol moieties in 9 behave as two independent bidentate ligands in the catalytic system. The results obtained using ligand 15 having one N-sulfonylated beta-amino alcohol blocked support the argument of two independent active bidentate moieties in 9.

Crosslinked polystyrene-supported resins 4, 7a, and 7b containing N-sulfonylated beta-amino alcohol in 98, 20, and 40% loadings are prepared. Asymmetric diethylzinc additions to benzaldehyde employing titanium complexes of 10 mol % resins 4, 7a, or 7b are examined and the best performed 7a/Ti(O-i-Pr)4 catalytic system applies to various aldehydes to afford desired secondary alcohols in excellent enantioselectivities up to 95% ee. The resin 7a is reused five times, giving the product with enantioselectivities >or=86% ee and an 81% ee is obtained when the resin is used the sixth time.
