Abstract

The first series of chiral 2,2′:6′2″-terpyridine tri-N-oxide ligands have been developed; They were showed to be active Lewis base-catalysts for asymmetric allylation of aldehydes using allyltrichlorosilane with optimal results at 0°C for electron-deficient aromatic aldehydes (yields up to 97% and enantioselectivities up to 86% ee).
