Jm. Mcgill et al., HYDRIDE REAGENTS FOR STEREOSELECTIVE REDUCTIVE AMINATION - AN IMPROVED PREPARATION OF 3-ENDO-TROPANAMINE, Tetrahedron letters, 37(23), 1996, pp. 3977-3980
The reductive amination of substituted cyclohexanones with sodium tria
cyloxyborohydrides derived from NaBH4 and various carboxylic acids pro
vides highly diastereoselective conversions to protected axial amines.
This method was applied to the stereoselective preparation of 3-endo-
tropanamine. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
