As. Demir et al., Conversion of homochiral amines, beta-amino alcohols and alpha-amino acidsto their chiral 2-substituted pyrrole derivatives, J CHEM S P1, (10), 2001, pp. 1162-1167
The conversion of the amino group of chiral amines, amino alcohols, amino a
cids and their esters into chiral 2-substituted pyrrole derivatives with va
rious halogeno enones is described. The conversion works in good yield and
without racemization. The synthesis of 2-phenylpyrrole derivatives was poss
ible with amino alcohols but not with amino acids or their esters.
