Abstract
The application of camphor derived chiral ligands in catalytic asymmetric catalysis are described in this thesis which consists of two parts. The first part describes the asymmetric addition of zinc acetylide to aldehyde catalyzed by chiral □-amino alcohol 16, derived from (+)-ketopinic acid. The second part describes the asymmetric addition of Et2Zn to conjugated enone catalyzed by sulfonamide.
