Enantioselective Addition of Phenylacetylene to Aldehydes Catalyzed by Polymer-Supported Sulfonamide

Enantioselective formation of C-C bonds is an area of intense research. Among them, the asymmetric addition of alkynyl reagents to aldehydes is very useful for the synthesis of chiral secondary propargyl alcohols.[1] Recently, many significant homogeneous chiral ligands have been disclosed,[2,3] but very few efficient heterogeneous catalysts have been reported. Herein, we report our research results in the asymmetric addition of phenylacetylene to aldehydes catalyzed by polymer-supported chiral sulfonamide.……
