A CONVENIENT ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF ANTI-BETA-AMINO ALCOHOLS - AN X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC STUDY OF (4R)-2,2-DIMETHYL-4-[(2S)-(DIPHENYLMETHYLENEAMINO)-(1S)-HYDROXY-3-BUTEN-1-YL]-1,3-DIOXOLANE
anti-beta-Diphenylmethyleneamino alcohols have been produced with high relative and absolute stereocontrol in a one-pot process; subsequent deprotection gave anti-beta-hydroxy amines in good yield.
