For the first time we have been able to employ enantiopure 1,2-amino alcohols derived from abundant amino acids in C?C bond-forming hydrogen-borrowing alkylation reactions. These reactions are facilitated by the use of the aryl ketone Ph*COMe. Racemisation of the amine stereocentre during alkylation can be prevented by the use of sub-stoichiometric base and protection of the nitrogen with a sterically hindered triphenylmethane (trityl) or benzyl group. The Ph* and trityl groups are readily cleaved in one pot to give γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) products as their HCl salts without further purification. Both steps may be performed in sequence without isolation of the hydrogen-borrowing intermediate, removing the need for column chromatography.
Double chirality transmission in trityl amines: Sensing molecular dynamic stereochemistry by circular dichroism and DFT calculations

Con-figured out: The tert-butyl group can be formally seen as "less" sterically demanding (M) than the methyl group (L). This is the case when a CD-active trityl group at the nitrogen atom is used to report the chirality of the carbon substituent with two
