First Desymmetrization of 1, 3-Propanediamine Derivatives in Organic Solvent. Development of a New Route for the Preparation of Optically Active Amines §
The chemical synthesis and enzymatic desymmetrization of a panel of prochiral diamines have been successfully described for the first time using lipases in organic solvents. A family of 2-aryl-1, 3-propanediamines has been obtained with high enantiopurity and good yields in the PSL-catalyzed reaction using diallyl carbonate in 1, 4-dioxane.
