by the cyclocondensation of (R)‐phenylglycinol or (1S,2R)‐1‐amino‐2‐indanol with stereoisomericmixtures (racemates, meso forms, diastereoisomers) of cyclohexanone‐based δ‐keto‐acid and δ‐keto‐diacid derivatives in enantio‐ and diastereoconvergent processes that involve dynamic kineticresolution and/or desymmetrization of enantiotopic groups.
