F. Fache et al., CATALYTIC REDUCTIVE N-ALKYLATION OF ANILINES - APPLICATION TO THE SYNTHESIS OF N-ARYL AMINO-ACID PRECURSORS, Tetrahedron, 52(29), 1996, pp. 9777-9784
Different anilines have been monoalkylated by reductive alkylation usi
ng ketones and alpha-ketoesters as alkylating agents with good isolate
d yields. This provided access to aminoacid derivatives. Diastereosele
ctive experiments were also performed. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Sci
