Chiral amines are highly coveted within the fine‐chemical industry and sustainable synthetic methodologies for their production are of great value. By harnessing the chirality present in cellulose‐derived (–)‐levoglucosenone (LGO), several bio‐based sp3‐rich amines containing up to four chiral centres have been readily prepared under aqueous conditions without using any catalysts, ligands, auxiliaries or resolutions.
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.
