LARGE SCALE PREPARATION OF VERSATILE CHIRAL AUXILIARIES DERIVED FROM (S)-PROLINE
The synthesis of a variety of enantiomerically pure chiral auxiliaries based on (S)-proline and bearing sterically demanding side chains at the pyrrolidine moiety, such as the secondary amines (S)-3,5 and 7 and the hydrazines (S)-6, is described on a molar scale.As key step, the Grignard or RLi addition to the N-benzylated proline ester (S)-1 is used.
