Gb. Kumar et Ac. Shah, DERIVATIVES OF (R)-2-AMINO-1-BUTANOL AND (S)-2-AMINO-1-BUTANOL AS POSSIBLE ANTI-ARRHYTHMICS, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 35(1), 1996, pp. 79-82
The chiral imines derived from (R) and (S)-2-amino-1-butanol have been
reported. Some of the chiral imines have been found to be in equilibr
ium with the corresponding 1, 3-oxazolidines, which on treatment with
sodium borohydride in methanol are reduced to the corresponding N-benz
yl derivatives.
