Abstract

Chiral (E)-arylaldehyde oxime ethers, prepared using (R)-1-phenyl-1, 2-ethanediol as a chiral auxiliary, undergo nucleophilic addition with methyllithium to give diastereomerically enriched O-alkyl hydroxylamines which, after reductive N O bond cleavage, lead to the corresponding (R)-1-(aryl) ethylamines. This methodology has been applied to the enantioselective synthesis of a new type of arylalkylamine calcimimetics (R)-(+)-NPS R- ...
