Lithium binaphthoate

Hatano, M. Ikeno, T Miyamoto, T Ishihara, K. Chiral lithium binaphtho-late aqua complex as a highly effective asymmetric catalyst for cyanohydrin synthesis. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005,127, 10116-10111. 

Stereoselectivities of aldol reactions of trimethoxysilyl enol ethers catalysed by lithium binaphthoate are greatly affected by the presence of water, which may induce a change from anti- to iyn-adduct formation for those derived from cyclohexanone, for example. " Direct anti- and regio-specific aldol reactions of cyclododecanone with 0 benzaldehyde in NaOH/MeOH have provided building blocks for helical construction of supramolecules. ...
