On the Development of Pseudoephenamine and Its Applications in Asymmetric Synthesis
Mellem, Kevin T (2014-06-06)Pseudoephedrine is well established as a chiral auxiliary in the alkylation of amide enolates to form tertiary and quaternary carbon stereocenters. However, due to its facile transformation into the illegal narcotic ... -
Pseudoephenamine: A Practical Chiral Auxiliary for Asymmetric Synthesis
Morales, Marvin R.; Mellem, Kevin T; Myers, Andrew G. (Wiley-VCH Verlag Berlin, 2012)Pseudoephenamine is shown to be a versatile chiral auxiliary for asymmetric synthesis. It is free from regulatory restrictions and exhibits remarkable stereocontrol in alkylation reactions, especially those that form ...
