Rda. Hudson et al., REACTIONS OF A NEW SORENSEN-TYPE NUCLEOPHILE WITH ORGANOIRON COMPLEXES - SYNTHESIS OF N-DEPROTECTED, DIASTEREOMERICALLY PURE AMINO-ACIDS, Synlett, (9), 1996, pp. 845
We describe the preparation of a new head group 8 for use in amino aci
d synthesis, and its application in the formation of a series of diast
ereomerically pure (in all but one case), N-deprotected, alpha-tricarb
onyl(cyclohexadiene)iron(0)-amino acids.
