P. Wyatt et al., Synthesis of the novel amine (R*,R*,R*)-tris(alpha-methylbenzyl)amine. X-Ray crystal structures of racemic and enantiomerically pure forms, J CHEM S P1, (24), 2000, pp. 4222-4223
Single diastereomers of tris(alpha -methylbenzyl)amine were efficiently syn
thesised in either racemic [(+/-)-1] or optically pure (1) form starting fr
om alpha -methylbenzylamine. The X-ray crystal structures reveal virtually
flat nitrogen centres.
