Abstract
A synthetic protocol for optically pure (-)-menthylamine, (-)-8-methylmenthylamine,
and the novel (-)-8-phenylmenthylamine is presented including a detailed characterization
of these compounds and their isocyanates.
Key words
amines - aminations - asymmetric synthesis - chirality - chiral auxiliaries
