have to be faster than that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r, resulting in an enantiomerically enriched product<br />
which is ano<strong>the</strong>r successful example <strong>of</strong> a dynamic kinetic resolution process. [60]<br />
He reported high enantioselectivities <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> reductive amination <strong>of</strong> hydratopicaldehyde with<br />
p-anisidine in <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> Hantzsch ester and phosphoric acid catalyst 9. [61] List<br />
demonstrated that racemic aldehydes could be successfully converted to branched-chain<br />
secondary amines in an excellent enantiomeric excess. He found that <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> a highly<br />
hindered phosphate catalyst was essential, and intriguingly <strong>the</strong> best results required <strong>the</strong> very<br />
specific use <strong>of</strong> a particular Hantzsch ester, in this case (Scheme 3.20).<br />
