Xd. Liu et al., P[(S,S,S)-PhHMeCNCH2CH2](3)N: A new chiral P-31 and H-1 NMR spectroscopic reagent for the direct determination of ee values of chiral azides, J ORG CHEM, 65(3), 2000, pp. 701-706
A facile and economical procedure for the synthesis of the C-3 chiral alpha
-phenylethylamino trisaminoamine [(S,S,S)-PhHMeCNHCH2CH2](3)N in good yield
is reported. The corresponding bicyclic proazaphosphatrane P[(S,S,S)-PhHMe
CNCH2CH2](3)N, its bicydic phosphoryl derivative, and its tricyclic P-proto
nated azaphosphatrane were also synthesized and characterized. It is found
that the proazaphosphatrane is an efficient derivatizing agent for the dire
ct determination of enantiomeric ratios of chiral azides by means of (31)p
and H-1 NMR spectroscopy.
