experimental part, p. 2154 - 2161 (2010/03/03)
N-Pyridylmethyl-substituted Ephedra derivatives were synthesized by either direct alkylation or reductive alkylation of (1R,2S)-norephedrine, (1S,2S)-pseudo norephedrine, and (1R,2S)-ephedrine. These derivatives were then employed in asymmetric addition reactions with diethylzinc and aldehydes and diphenylphosphinoylimines. The use of the diastereomers from the Ephedra family allowed for a systematic evaluation of the contribution of the N-pyridylmethyl.

Heterobidentate sulfide-tertiary amine ligands incorporating 1,2-aminothioethers derived from ephedrine and pseudoephedrine have been prepared and used successfully in the palladium-catalysed asymmetric allylic substitution reaction, giving ees of up to 89 percent. The stereoelectronic effects operating in the reactions are discussed.
(1S,2S)-2-Amino-1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol, a spin off from chloramphenicol manufacture, as chiral synthon for (1S, 2S)-pseudoephedrine and (R)-phenylalaninol

(1S,2S)-2-Amino-1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol (3a), a discarded optically active material in one of the processes for the manufacture of chloramphenicol, has been transformed into (S,S)-pseudoephedrine (4) and (R)-phenylalaninol (5). The opposite selectivity of highly regioselective oxidative ring opening of the benzaldehyde acetal of (1S,2S)-2-phthalimido-1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol by NBS and highly regioselective ring opening of the cyclic sulphite of the same substrate by LiBr are the key steps in the transformations respectively.
