Diastereoselective reductive imino-aldol reaction of α-imino esters promoted by titanium tetraiodide: synthesis of α,β-diamino esters
Abstract
Under the influence of titanium tetraiodide reductive imino-aldol reaction of the N-tosylimine derived from ethyl glyoxylate proceeded with aldimines to give α,β-diamino esters in good yields in a highly diastereoselective manner.
