P. Bisel et al., Expeditious synthesis and chromatographic resolution of (+)- and (-)-trans-1-benzylcyclohexan-1,2-diamine hydrochlorides, CHIRALITY, 13(2), 2000, pp. 89-93
The hitherto unknown (-)- and (+)-1-benzylcyclohexan-1,2-diamine hydrochlor
ides 4a . HCl and 4b . HCl were synthesized by means of diastereoselective
alpha -iminoamine rearrangement with subsequent imine reduction and hydroge
nolysis. The relative trans-configuration as well as the absolute (1S,2R) a
nd (1R,2S) configurations of 4a and 4b, respectively, were elucidated on th
e basis of an X-ray analysis of 3b . HCl. The enantiomeric excess (ee) valu
es of the title compounds (>99% )were determined by chiral HPLC on a Chirex
(D) Penicillamine column. Chirality 13:89-93, 2001. (C) 2001 Wiley-Liss. I
