Abstract

A simple synthetic procedure for the preparation of mono-N-tosylated-1,2-diamines derived from (+)-3-carene is described. (+)-3-Carene is transformed into the corresponding N-tosylaziridine derivative using chloramine-T trihydrate. Subsequent ring opening with sodium azide followed by reduction of the azide function gives the optically pure mono-N-tosylated-1,2-diamine. This ligand is effective in asymmetric transfer hydrogenations of aromatic ketones. It can also be transformed into other chiral ligands by alkylation of the amino group for application in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehydes.
