Strecker-type reactions recycle system

Lewis acid and the oxygen atom of the phosphane oxide, respectively. With this catalyst system, N-allyl- and N-benzhydrylimines generally gave lower enantioselectivities. The addition of phenol was found to have a beneficial effect on the reaction rates. The JandaJEL -supported bifunctional catalyst of 14 has also been shown by Shibasaki and co-workers to promote the Strecker-type reaction of aromatic and a,/ -unsaturated imines in excellent yields with 83-87% ee in the presence of tert-butanol (110%) [11]. The reactivity of the Janda/EL catalyst was comparable to the homogeneous analogue 14, and the catalyst could be recycled at least four times.
