Asymmetric synthesis of chiral tectons with tetrapodal symmetry: fourfold asymmetric reactions

The diastereoselective fourfold addition to Ellman-type imines furnished after deprotection the tetrapodal amines in excellent yields. The unprecedented asymmetric fourfold addition of hydride and alkylzinc reagents to tetrapodal ketones and aldehydes, respectively, is achieved by employing CBS-reduction or [2.2]paracyclophane-based ketimine ligands with good to excellent global enantiomeric ratios.
