Ureas, carbamoyl derivatives, amides, and sulfonamides can be easily prepared from the strained (R,R)-cylohexanediamine urea (1) in high yield, leaving a free amino group that shows good catalytic activity in intramolecular aldol condensations. The preparation of Wieland-Miescher ketone has been studied with these catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
