H. Pennemann et al., Diastereoselective hydroboration of chiral enamines using an enantiomerically pure amine from an industrial waste material as the source of chirality, TETRAHEDR-A, 11(10), 2000, pp. 2133-2142
By a hydroboration/oxidation procedure ti ans-aminoalcohols with dr values
from 74:26 to greater than or equal to 95:5 were obtained. A bicyclic amine
derived from the unnatural amino acid 2-azabicyclic[3.3.0]octane-3-carboxy
lic acid was used as the chiral precursor. The absolute configuration was c
larified by X-ray structure of a descendant of the tr ans-aminoalcohols. (C
