IS - 34 ID - discovery1471701 N2 - In this paper we describe the use of a chiral aldehyde derived from lactate esters for determining the enantiopurity of primary amines, via the formation of diastereomeric imines. The method was shown to be suitable for reproducibly determining the enantiopurity of a diverse set of chiral amines. Both enantiomers of the aldehyde can be prepared in two steps from commercially available materials.
