were dissolved in refluxing ethanol (15 mL). After refluxing for 5 h
heating was stopped, and the flask was left to gradually cool and
then kept at ambient temperature for 3–4 days. The resulting
white solid was collected by filtration, washed with ethanol
(2 mL in total), and dried in vacuo. The crude product was recrys-
dent reflections. Crystallographic data (excluding structure factors)

salt (R,R)-3d (0.26 g, 0.8 mmol) was suspended in ethyl acetate
(50 mL) and 5% aqueous HCl (50 mL) was added. The biphasic mix-
ture was stirred rapidly until all of the solid had dissolved. The or-
ganic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was re-extracted
with ethyl acetate (3 ꢂ 50 mL). The combined organic layers were
washed with water (100 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated
to give (R,R)-1 (0.16 g, quantitative) as a white crystalline solid: mp
This compound was obtained according to a method reported in
the literature.15 The aldehyde (30 mmol) was added to a solution of
hypophosphorus acid (30 mmol-anhydrous) in 100 mL of ethanol
and the resulting solution was stirred for 48 h at reflux. The solvent
was evaporated and chromatography on silica gel with MeOH/
CHCl3 (1:9 to 10/0)) gave the pure product in 48–63% isolated
yields. All products gave satisfactory spectroscopic data in accor-
dance with the assigned structures.

Salt (S,R)-2d was found to precipitate from ethanol in a 33%
yield at ambient temperature via fractional crystallization of the
residue from the separation step of (R,R)-3d (Section 4.3). The
resulting white solid was collected by filtration, washed with eth-
anol (2 mL in total), and dried in vacuo. The crude product was
recrystallised from ethanol to yield (R)-1-phenylethanaminium
