AGUIRRE, Gerardo et al. Asymmetric Synthesis of Naturally Occurring β-Hydroxyamides (R)-Tembamide and (R)-Aegeline. Rev. Soc. Quím. Méx [online]. 2001, vol.45, n.1, pp.21-24. ISSN 0583-7693.

Chiral cyanohydrins were synthesized from anisaldehyde and trimethylsilylcyanide catalyzed by a chiral Schiff-base titanium complex. Cyanohydrins were converted into chiral the ß-hydroxyamides, (R)-Tembamide and (R)-Aegeline.

Palabras llave : Chiral cyanohydrins; chiral Schiff base-titanium complex; ß-hydroxyamides.
