C. Cativiela et al., DIASTEREOSELECTIVE STRECKER REACTION OF IMINES DERIVED FROM D-GLYCERALDEHYDE - A NEW ROUTE TO BETA-HYDROXY-ALPHA-AMINO ACIDS, Tetrahedron letters, 36(16), 1995, pp. 2859-2860
A diastereoselective Strecker type reaction of imines derived from con
veniently protected D-glyceraldehyde has been achieved with good to ex
cellent stereoselectivity through an appropriate choice of the protect
ing group and reaction conditions
