Catalytic Asymmetric Carbon-Carbon Forming Reactions Catalyzed Chiral Schiff Base-Metal Complexes

1 Results In 1991, we disclosed the novel asymmetric catalysts prepared from chiral Schiff base and titanium alkoxide in the reaction of asymmetric silylcyanation of aldehydes (eq.1)1]. Since our first report, chiral Schiff base-metal complex was proven to be efficient in a variety of asymmetric reactions. We reported the first example of enantioselective addition of diketene to aldehydes promoted by chiral Schiff base-titanium alkoxide complexes (eq.2)2]. The products of this reaction have been cove...
