Project description: Using chiral auxiliary (α-Methyl Benzyl Amine) as chiral<br />

nitrogen source with different hydrogen donors ( isopropanol, <strong>for</strong>mic acid,..etc) and<br />

ru<strong>the</strong>nium or rhodium catalysts <strong>for</strong> reductive amination <strong>of</strong> different ketones.<br />

Conversion < 50% with 40% diastereoselectivity.<br />

Study <strong>the</strong> Effect <strong>of</strong> Additives on Asymmetric Reductive Amination.<br />

Project description: Testing <strong>the</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> different acidic and basic additives on <strong>the</strong><br />

reductive amination <strong>of</strong> ketones. In general acidic compounds improved<br />

diastereoselectivity and vice versa <strong>for</strong> basic compounds.<br />

Nov. 2008-<br />

Feb. 2009 Project description: Preparing different α-chiral primary amines with >98%<br />

chemical purity and >98% enantioselectivity on multi gram scale (50 gram) utilizing<br />

large scale crystallization eliminating <strong>the</strong> need <strong>of</strong> chromatographic purification.<br />
