Synthesis of Chiral Functionalized Diarylmethanols Catalyzed by a New γ-Amino Thiol

Significance

Chiral diaryl methanols are important scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. This paper describes the enantioselective aryl transfer reaction to aldehydes using a γ-amino thiol ligand and aryl boronic acids as the aryl source without any need of a polyether additive.
