In this work, we thoroughly investigated the effect of structural differentiation of a series of N,N-disubstituted chiral diamine ligands on the catalytic asymmetric aldol reactions between trifluoromethyl ketones and linear aliphatic ketones for the construction of chiral trifluoromethyl tertiary alcohols. A highly efficient primary–tertiary diamine ligand derived from (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine was developed, which catalyzed the reactions with up to 99% yield and up to 94% enantioselectivity in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) using toluene as solvent.
