CHIRAL CYANOAMINES AND METHODS OF PREPARATION

摘要

The present invention relates to chiral catalysts that can be used to transform chemically compatible imines to optically enriched cyanoamines, to the application of such catalysts to the synthesis of optically enriched cyanoamines, and to the preparation of optically enriched amino acids, optically enriched amino alcohols, or optically enriched diamines. In general, catalysts useful in the methods of the invention have the structure (Formula I), where the different groups Ar, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, R1, R2, R3, M, L and n have the meanings defines in the description.
