Abstract
Chiral hydrocarbon [2.2]paracyclophanes act as chiral initiators in asymmetric autocatalysis in the addition of diisopropylzinc to pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde and give highly enantiomerically enriched 5-pyrimidyl alkanol with a reversed sense of the enantioselectivity to that of other [2.2]paracyclophanes with heteroatoms.
