Chiral furan-2-yl-substituted reagents based on (+)-α-methylbenzylamine
摘要:
The Schiff base obtained by condensation of furfural with (+)-alpha-methylbenzylamine was reduced with sodium tetrahydridoborate, and the resulting amine was alkylated with methyl iodide to obtain the corresponding chiral tertiary amine. Oxidation of the reduction product with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid gave (1R)-N-(furan-2-ylmethylidene)-1-phenylethanamine N-oxide.
