Enantioselective rearrangement of a meso-cyclohexene oxide using norephedrine-derived chiral bases
摘要:
Using a chiral base from a norephedrine-derived diamine, the enantioselective rearrangement of a mesocyclohexene oxide can be performed in 94% yield and with 94% enantioselectivity. The enantioselectivity is lower (86% ee) with the diastereoisomeric chiral base. In order to prepare the diastereoisomeric chiral base, a potentially useful way of converting norephedrine into norpseudophedrine was developed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Construction of Chiral Amino Alcohols by Iridium–f-Amphox-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
The iridium–f-amphox-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic α-amino β-unfunctionalized ketones proceeds via a DKR (dynamickineticresolution) process for the construction of various chiral N,N-disubstituted α-amino β-unfunctionalized alcohols in quantitative yields with excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities (all products >99% ee and >99:1 dr, TON up to 100 000).
