I. Reiners et al., A NEW ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHETIC APPROACH TO BETA-AMINOTHIO-COMPOUNDSVIA ENANTIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF N,S-HETEROCYCLIC IMINES, Journal fur praktische Chemie, Chemiker-Zeitung, 339(6), 1997, pp. 541-546
The enantioselective reduction of N,S-heterocyclic imines, namely thia
zolines la,b and 2H-1,4-benzothiazine Ic, via three different reductio
n methods is reported. The influence of reaction parameters, substitue
nts, and the type of heterocycle was investigated. Reduction of the pr
ochiral imines led to the corresponding amine derivatives 2, 10, 12 an
d 14. The best result was obtained by stoichiometric enantioselective
reduction of Ic with 44% ee.
