A preparatively easy and efficient protocol for the resolution of racemic 2-aminocyclohexanol derivatives is described, delivering both enantiomers with >99% enantiomeric excess (ee) by sequential use of (R)- and (S)-mandelic acid. A simple aqueous workup procedure permits the isolation of the amino alcohols in analytically pure form and the almost quantitative recovery of mandelic acid. Debenzylation of enantiopure trans-2-(N-benzyl)amino-1- cyclohexanol by hydrogenation and subsequent derivatization give access to a broad variety of diversely substituted derivatives. Furthermore, the corresponding cis isomers are readily available. Applications of these optically active aminocyclohexanols in catalyzed asymmetric phenyl transfer reactions to benzaldehydes and transfer hydrogenations of aryl ketones lead to products with up to 96% ee.

trans- and cis-2-Methylamino cyclohexanols (MAC) were prepared in enantiomerically pure forms and transformed into O.N-bis(diphenylphosphino) derivatives ("PONP").An analogous trans-1R;2R-aminocyclohexanol PONP could only be isolated in an impure form, whereas the attempted synthesis of PONP's of diastereomeric trans-2-(N-α-phenylethylamino)-cyclohexanols failed.Cationic Rh(I)-chelates of the new PONP's catalyzed the enantioselective hydrogenation of dehydro-α-acylamino acids with /= 97percent ee.A comparison of the enantiodiscriminating properties of the MAC-PONP's with structurally related chiral ligands leads to surprising conclusions.
