Abstract

Two new -symmetric primary-secondary diamines were synthesized via the reaction of ( , )-1,2-diphenyl ethylene diamine with 3,5-ditert-butyl salicylaldehyde and salicylaldehyde, respectively, followed by reduction with NaBH . The combination of the ligand from 3,5-ditert-butyl salicylaldehyde with CuBr could effciently catalyze the Henry reaction to afford -nitroalkanols in moderate to good yields (up to 87%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 88% ). A possible mechanism of the reaction was proposed.
