“…For example, the recent asymmetric synthesis of enantiomerically pure 1 [55] involves the reductive amination of the corresponding ketone using rather expensive Ellman’s chiral sulfinimide [56,57,58] as a chiral auxiliary. Accordingly, with the aim to develop an economically sound process, and drawing inspiration from the recent publications of optical resolutions of various chiral amines [59,60,61,62,63] and, in particular, patent data [64], we focused our attention on the optical resolution approach, the science of which is well understood and can be performed on an industrial scale [65,66,67,68].…”
