The Reformatsky reagent 2 generated from methyl bromodifluoroacetate is added to benzaldehyde in the presence of carbinols 3a, b , amino alcohols 3c ‐ g , or amino alkoxide 3h . N ‐Methylephedrine 3c provides the highest enantioselectivity in the formation of the adduct S ‐ 4a (84% ee; >96% after recrystallization) whose absolute configuration is determined by an X‐ray structural analysis of the amide 6 .
