摘要
The conversion of (1R,2S)-norephedrine into a novel chiral diamine (83% yield, simple two step synthesis) and its use as a chiral base in two epoxide rearrangement reactions is reported. Rearrangement of a 4,5-disubstituted cyclohexene oxide and of a 4-aminosubstituted cyclopentene oxide generated allylic alcohols of >90% ee. These results represent the highest levels of enantioselectivity reported to date for such substrates. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
