β¦ Synopsis
S,S)-H,N-Bis(-a-methylbenzyl)formamide is the first example of chiral formamides that function as Lewis base catalysts to effectively serve catalytic asymmetric synthesis. The chiral fommamide in combivmlon with an additive, HMPA, catalyzes allylations of aliphatJc aldehydes with allyi-and crotyltric~ with high enantioselcctivity (up to 98% co). In the crotylafions with (E)crotyltrichlot'osilane, cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde and hydrocinnamaldehyde gave the ~m, esponding anti homoallylic alcohols exclusively with 98 and 94% ee's, respectively.

The first chiral triaminosulfonium salt, tris((S,S)-3,4-diphenylpyrrolidino)sulfonium difluorotriphenylstannate, catalyzes trifluoromethylation of benzaldehyde with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane to give the corresponding optically active alcohol with 52% ee.
