Sodium borohydride: A versatile reagent in the reductive N-monoalkylation of α-amino acids and α-amino methyl esters

, p. 779 - 788 (2002)
α-Amino acids and α-amino methyl esters are easily converted to their N-monoalkyl derivatives by a reductive condensation reaction using several carbonyl compounds in the presence of sodium borohydride. This reducing agent has shown a wide versatility with minor but essential procedural variations. The reaction allows the α-monodeuterium labeling of the new N-substituent by use of sodium borodeuteride.
Catalytic asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylides. Development of a versatile stepwise, three-component reaction for diversity-oriented synthesis

We report a new catalyst system that should enhance the use of enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides with electronic-deficient olefins in the divergent pathways of diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS). The underlying reaction is o
Investigation into the enantioselective protonation of enolate Schiff bases with (R)-pantolactone
Calmes, Monique,Glot, Christele,Martinez, Jean
, p. 49 - 52 (2007/10/03)
The effect of several factors on the enantioselective protonation of the enolates of α-amino acid derivatives with (R)-pantolactone were studied. The highest stereoselectivity (74-76% e.e.) was generally observed by associating lithium chloride with LHMDS
Diastereo- and Enantio-selectivity in the Pictet-Spengler Reaction
Bailey, Patrick D.,Hollinshead, Sean P.,McLay, Neil R.,Morgan, Keith,Palmer, Sarah J.,et al.
, p. 431 - 440 (2007/10/02)
The factors that control the relative and absolute stereochemistry of 1,3-disubstituted and 1,2,3-trisubstituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines formed via the Pictet-Spengler reaction are discussed.In particular, the stereochemical factors that lead to the predominance of cis-1,3-disubstituted products under conditions of kinetic control are presented, whith the aid of X-ray crystallographic data on a number of compounds; methods for assigning relative stereochemistry on the basis of NMR data are given; the mechanism by which racemisation can occur during the Pictet-Spengler reaction has also been studied, and procedures for eliminating this problem are given.
