OPTICALLY-ACTIVE N-1-PHENYLETHYL DERIVATIVES OF (1R)-2-AMINO-1-PHENYLETHANOL AS CHIRAL AUXILIARIES IN THE ENANTIOSELECTIVE ADDITION OF DIETHYLZINC TO ARYLALDEHYDES
A. Iuliano et al., OPTICALLY-ACTIVE N-1-PHENYLETHYL DERIVATIVES OF (1R)-2-AMINO-1-PHENYLETHANOL AS CHIRAL AUXILIARIES IN THE ENANTIOSELECTIVE ADDITION OF DIETHYLZINC TO ARYLALDEHYDES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(3), 1995, pp. 739-744
The aminoalcohols (1R)-2-N[(R)-1-phenylethyl]amino-1-phenylethanol, (1
R)-2-N[(S)-1- phenylethyl]amino-1-phenylethanol, and (1R)-2-N-methyl-N
[(R)-1-phenylethyl]amino synthesized by simple procedures, have been u
sed as chiral catalysts in the enantioselective addition of diethylzin
c to arylaldehydes, obtaining optically active 1-arylpropanols in good
chemical yields (47 to 95%) and e.e.s up to 88%.
