M. Genov et al., HIGHLY DIASTEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF NEW OPTICALLY-ACTIVE AMINOALCOHOLS IN ONE-STEP FROM (-CAMPHOR AND (-)-FENCHONE()), Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 8(11), 1997, pp. 1869-1876
New optically active aminoalcohols have been prepared from CeCl3-activ
ated (+)-camphor and (-)-fenchone and N-functionalized organolithium c
ompounds. The aminoalcohols obtained catalyze the addition of diethylz
inc to benzaldehyde in high yields and enantioselectivities up to 64%.
