Di. Magee et al., STUDIES ON THE ENANTIOSELECTIVE DEPROTONATION OF 2,4-DIMETHYLBICYCLO[3.2.1]OCTAN-3-ONE, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(3), 1995, pp. 639-642
The desymmetrization of 2,4-dimethylbicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one by enant
ioselective deprotonation with a variety of chiral amine bases has bee
n studied. The enantioselectivities ranged from 5% for camphor derived
amine 11 to 85% for Koga's base 13.
