Diastereomeric quaternary salts from cyclisation of αω-dibromides with secondary amines
Abstract
The stereochemistry of the cyclisation of several 1,4- and 1,5-dibromides (and one 1,5-toluene-p-sulphonate) with unsymmetrical acyclic bases NHMeR1 has been investigated. Usually (but not invariably) the mixture of diastereomeric quaternary salts is formed with quite low stereoselectivity, the more stable isomer predominating.
