Abstract

OPerformed in THF at room temperature.* Trans isomers.'Trans: cis= M20. dTrans: cis= 7822.'Compounds lg and lh are diastereomers.'Silica gel, elution with benzene/ethyl acetate (101)). 8Erythro: threo= 11.89.* Erythro: threo= 3565. amines from a-amino nitriles is also possible because the cyano group can be reductively removed. For example, sodium metal was effective for such a reduction, although the reaction conditions were drastic? It was ...
