P. Barbaro et al., NEW ENANTIOMERICALLY PURE AMINOALCOHOLS FROM (R)-ALPHA-METHYLBENZYLAMINE AND CYCLOHEXENE OXIDE, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 7(3), 1996, pp. 843-850
The new chiral aminoalcohols {(S)-[cyclohexan-(S)-2-ol]}-(R)-alpha-met
hylbenzyl amine 1 and -{(R)-[cyclohexan-(R)-2-ol]}-(R)-alpha-methylami
ne 2 were prepared by reaction of (R)-alpha-methylbenzylamine with cyc
lohexene oxide at 160 degrees C. The diastereoisomers were separated b
y fractional crystallization of the corresponding ammonium chlorides {
(S)-[cyclohexan-(S)-2-ol]}-(R)-alpha-methylbenzyl ammonium chloride 1
. HCl and {(R)-[cyclohexan-(R)-2-ol]}-(R)-alpha-methylbenzyl ammonium
chloride 2 . HCl. The absolute configuration of all stereocenters in 1
. HCl and 2 . HCl was determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. (C) 1
