| Application: | • As a key precursor in the synthesis of a chiral phosphinooxazoline ligand, (S)-tert-butylPHOX. • In the synthesis of chiral copper(II) polymers that can catalyze the kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols by acylation. • In metal-free tandem radical cyclization reactions to synthesize 6-alkyl/acyl phenanthridines. • In the preparation of tert-leucine-derived N-acetylthiazolidinethione auxiliary that provides high levels of diastereoselection in acetate aldol reactions with a variety of aldehydes. |
| General description: | L-tert-Leucine is an amino acid used as a precursor for synthesizing chiral tridentate Schiff base ligands. |
