An intramolecular dinuclear zinc complex was used in asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation of pyrrole with a wide range of chalcone derivatives. This dinuclear zinc complex was prepared in situ by reacting the chiral ligand (S,S)-1 with 2 equiv. of ZnEt2. A series of β-pyrrole-substituted dihydrochalcones were formed mostly in excellent yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) by using 15 mol% catalyst loading under mild conditions. A possible mechanism was proposed to explain the origin of the asymmetric induction.

Key words: enantioselective catalysis, Friedel-Crafts alkylation, zinc, semi-azacrown ether ligand
