Application

(−)-Bis[(S)-1-phenylethyl]amine hydrochloride can be used:
  • To prepare phosphoramidite (Feringa) ligand named (R)-2,2′-binaphthoyl-(S,S)-di-(1-phenylethyl)aminoylphosphine.
  • As a chiral amphiphilic cation to encapsulate polyoxometalates, which act as supramolecular assemblies employed in the asymmetric oxidation of sulfides.
  • As a chiral shift agent in the determination of enantiomeric purity of tris(tetrachlorobenzenediolato) phosphate(V) anion using 31P NMR.

Other Notes

The corresponding chiral lithium amide is used as base for the enantioselective deprotonation of ketones.
