(Chemical Equation Presented) Resolutely dynamic hydrogenation: A highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic N,N-disubstituted α-aminocycloalkanones involving dynamic kinetic resolution in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst gives chiral α-aminocycloalkanols with excellent enantioselectivities and cis diastereoselectivities (see scheme). A synthesis of optically pure U-(-)-50488 based on this reaction is reported.

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.
