20. In contrast, the addition of dialkylzincs to ferrocene -1,1′-dicarbaldehyde in the presence of a chiral catalyst proved to be very limited due to interactions of the alcoholate obtained after mono-addition and the remaining aldehyde function leading to low enantiomeric excess and considerable amounts of meso-diol (S. Vettel, unpublished results, Marburg 1994). Compare with a successful approach using N,N-dialkylnorephedrines as chiral catalysts: Soai, K.; Hayase, T.; Takai, K.; Sugiyama, T. J. Org.
