beta-Amino alcohols derived from (1R,2S)-norephedrine were synthesized and used as ligands in the catalytic enantioselective diethylzinc addition to benzaldehydes. N-alkylated (1R,2S)-norephedrine-based derivative 3a gave the highest enantioselectivity. The effects of different parameters on the enantioselectivity of the product were investigated.
