S. Kobayashi et al., POLYMER-SUPPORTED SILYL ENOL ETHERS - SYNTHESIS AND REACTIONS WITH IMINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN AMINO ALCOHOL LIBRARY, Tetrahedron letters, 37(16), 1996, pp. 2809-2812
Polymer-supported silyl enol ethers (thioketene silyl acetals) were pr
epared from chloromethyl copoly-(styrene-1%-divinylbenzene) resin. The
silyl enol ethers reacted with imines in the presence of a catalytic
amount of scandium triflate (Sc(OTf)(3)) to afford beta-amino thioeste
rs, which were reduced to amino alcohols in good yields. These reactio
ns provide a convenient method for the preparation of an amino alcohol
library. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
