ChemInform Abstract: Asymmetric Synthesis. Part 10. The Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of (R)‐α‐Substituted Benzylic Amines via the Modified (+)‐Camphor Derivatives as Chiral Synthons.

Abstract

AbstractThe ketopinic acid (I) is converted to the acyl chloride (II) which is consecutively treated with o‐aminophenol (III) and benzylamine (V), producing the chiral imine (VI).
