Abstract

N-Pyridylmethyl-substituted Ephedra derivatives were synthesized by either direct alkylation or reductive alkylation of (1 R,2 S)-norephedrine, (1 S,2 S)-pseudo norephedrine, and (1 R,2 S)-ephedrine. These derivatives were then employed in asymmetric addition reactions with diethylzinc and aldehydes and diphenylphosphinoylimines. The use of the diastereomers from the Ephedra family allowed for a systematic evaluation of the contribution of the N-pyridylmethyl.
