Abstract:
The asymmetric synthesis of both the enantiomer of chiral amines from the single chiral source of N-tert-butylsulfinylaldimines (3) by simply changing the organometallic reagents through diastereoselective addition. An efficient enantioselective synthesis of chiral amines including (S)-3-methyl-1-(2-piperidin-1-yl-phenyl)butyl amine (6a), a key intermediate to prepare antidiabetic drug repaglinide (1), is reported.
