61. For example, the Corey group and Noyori group used chiral bimetallic complexes as catalysts for the asymmetric CBS borane reduction and diethyl zinc addition, respectively; see ref 29 and Noyori, R.; Kitamura, M. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 1998, 30, 34. Shibasaki et al. developed highly efficient chiral heterobimetallic complexes which have been proven to be efficient catalysts for numerous C-C, C-S, C-P, C-O, and C-H bond forming reactions; see ref 36. A bifunctional catalyst which is based on gold as a metal component and a phosphine ligand containing an additional amine functionality as a Lewis base was found by Ito, Sawamura, and Hayashi; see Hayashi, T.; Sawamura, M.; Ito, Y. Tetrahedron 1992, 48, 1999. The application of this metal complex in the asymmetric aldol reaction gave excellent stereo-selectivities.
