A. Sudo et al., CIS-2-AMINO-1-ACENAPHTHENOL - PRACTICAL RESOLUTION AND APPLICATION TOTHE CATALYTIC ENANTIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF KETONES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(8), 1995, pp. 1853-1856
The chiral amino alcohol, cis-2-amino-1-acenaphethenol, was resolved v
ia its (R)-2-phenylpropionic acid salt. This amino alcohol was used as
the precursor of a chiral oxazaborolidine, which was an efficient chi
ral catalyst in the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones.
