Chiral ligands containing heteroatoms; 12. Synthesis of optically active 2-amino-2-(2'-pyridyl)-1-alkanols from β-hydroxy-α-amino acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1994-25707

The synthesis of a new class of optically active ligands such as the title compounds is presented. All the multistep procedures adopted start by the conversion of L-serine and L-threonine into the proper 2,2-dimethyloxazolidines, followed by transformatio
