Abstract

In the presence of chiral catalytic complexes prepared from In(OTf) 3 and chiral PYBOX ligands, allytributylstannane reacted with aldehydes in ionic liquids to afford the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in high enantioselectivities (86-94% ee) and good yields (68-89%); the chiral catalysts immobilized in ionic liquids could be reused with comparable enantioselectivities and yields.
