Synthesis of enantioenriched 1,2-trans-diamines using the borono-Mannich reaction with N-protected α-amino aldehydes†
Abstract
The three-component Petasis borono-Mannich reaction starting with easily accessible N-protected α-amino aldehydes produces efficiently and diastereoselectively 1,2-trans-diamines with an enantiomeric excess of up to 98%.
