Abstract

We herein report the preparation and the nucleophilic substitution of the chiral 2, 4, 6- triphenylpyridinium tetrafluoroborates 2a and 2b. The triphenylpyridinium intermediates were generated from homochiral amines (1a, 1b) and 2, 4, 6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate and used as substrates for stereoselective nucleophilic substitution. The degree of inversion in the substitution reactions has been studied. The alcohol (3a, 3b) ...
