J. Christoffers et al., Synthesis, resolution, and absolute configuration of trans-1-amino-2-dimethylaminocyclohexane, TETRAHEDRON, 57(9), 2001, pp. 1765-1769
Racemic trans-1-amino-2-dimethylaminocyclohexane was prepared by aziridine
ring opening reaction of 7-azabicyclo[4.1.0]-heptane with HNMe2. The resolu
tion of the racemate was accomplished by crystallization as the L-tartrate.
The optical purity of this material was checked by NMR after derivatizatio
n to the corresponding 10-camphorsulfonamide to be >95% ee. The absolute co
nfiguration of the R,R-enantiomer was confirmed by X-ray single crystal dif
fraction of a bis(diammine)copper complex. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. A
