The resulting arylmagnesium compounds were quenched with various electrophiles. The absolute and (if relevant) relative configurations of the resulting products were determined. The best ee/yield combination was obtained for the protonolysis furnishing monobromoalcohol (R)-2 (53 % ee, 51 % yield). The latter was converted into (R)-orphenadrine, an antihistaminic and anticholinergic drug. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
