Synthesis of (–)-Bulgecinine and 5-epi-Bulgecinine through Proline-Catalysed Asymmetric α-Hydroxylation of an Aldehyde Derived from l-Glutamic Acid
Abstract A very efficient synthetic route to (–)-bulgecinine and 5-epibulgecinine from an aldehyde derived from l-glutamic acid is reported. Proline-catalysed asymmetric α-hydroxylation reaction of an aldehyde is the key step in this synthesis, which is used to incorporate a hydroxyl group at the α-...
