On the Stereoselectivity of Asymmetric Strecker Synthesis in a Cyclohexane System: Synthesis of Optically Active<i>cis</i>- and<i>trans</i>-1-Amino-2-hydroxycyclohexane-1-carboxylic Acids
Stereoselective synthesis of both optically active cis- and fra/M-1-amino-2-hydroxycyclohexane-l-carboxylic acids (Ahhs) la and 1b was accomplished by an asymmetric version of the Streckersynthesis. Stereochemical aspects of their chiral induction processes are investigated.
