title: 1-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)ethylamine: a new chiral auxiliary for the asymmetric synthesis of gamma-amino acid derivatives.
abstract: The title compound has proven to be an excellent chiral auxiliary for nitrones in SmI2-mediated reductive coupling with alpha,beta-unsaturated esters. A variety of such nitrones, prepared from aldehydes and enantiopure N-hydroxy-1-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)ethylamine, afforded gamma-N-hydroxyamino esters in high yields and diastereomeric purity. These adducts, readily available as either enantiomer, could be transformed into gamma-N-acetoxyamino esters, N-Boc-gamma-amino esters, and gamma-lactams.
