PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF CHIRAL AMINES BY ASYMMETRIC HYDROGENATION OF PROCHIRAL OXIMES

There is provided a method for the preparation of an enantiomerically enriched amine by asymmetric hydrogenation of a prochiral oxime.

Synthesis of chiral ionic liquids from natural amino acids

For the first time, chiral imidazolium ionic liquids containing one chiral carbon (10a-c) were synthesized from the natural amino acids by a simple and straight-forward procedure. The characteristics of the chiral ILs are very similar to the popular ionic liquids.
