K. Kondo et al., ENANTIOSELECTIVE N-ACETYLATION OF RACEMIC SECONDARY ALKYL AMINES WITHCHIRAL 2-ACETYLAMINO-2'-DIACETYLAMINO-1,1'-BINAPHTHYL, Synlett, (7), 1998, pp. 725-726
The enantioselective N-acetylation of racemic secondary alkyl amines w
ith chiral 2-acetylamino-2'-diacetylamino-1,1'-binaphthyl (2) is descr
ibed. This N-acetylation with 2 was effective for 1-arylethylamine and
phenylalanine benzyl ester to give the corresponding N-acetylamines w
ith up to 48% ee.
