P. Bako et al., SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION IN ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF AZACROWN ETHERS DERIVED FROM D-GLUCOSE, Chemical communications, (11), 1998, pp. 1193-1194
New chiral monoaza-15-crown-5 derivatives and lariat ethers anellated
to phenyl beta-D-glucoside have been synthesized which show significan
t asymmetric induction as phase transfer catalysts in the Michael addi
tion of 2-nitropropane to chalcone (84% ee) and in the Darzens condens
ation of phenacyl chloride with benzaldehyde (74% ee).
