Enantioselective desymmetrization of meso bicyclic hydrazines: a novel approach to the asymmetric synthesis of polysubstituted amino cyclopentanic cores

J Org Chem. 2002 May 17;67(10):3522-4. doi: 10.1021/jo011190e.

Abstract

Catalytic asymmetric hydroboration can be successfully applied to meso bicyclic hydrazines. The resulting alcohols are of great synthetic interest and can lead in a straightforward manner to cyclopentanic diamino alcohols with good enantiomeric purity.
