Application

(1R)-(−)-Camphorquinone can be used as a chiral starting material for the preparation of:
  • α-Hydroxycamphors by selective reduction of keto groups using various vegetables.
  • Camphor-1,2-diamine platinum(II) complexes for DNA interaction studies.
  • Camphoric anhydride by unsensitized photo-oxidation in the presence of oxygen and polar solvents.
  • Camphorquinone-based chiral homoallylic amine, which is reacted with aldehydes to produce homoallylic primary amines via imine formation followed by 2-azonia-Cope rearrangement.

A camphorquinone-derived chiral homoallylic amine was found to react with various aldehydes via imine formation and asymmetric 2-azonia-Cope rearrangement to give optically active homoallylic primary amines. A practical level of enantioselectivity with high functional group tolerance has been attained in

The platinum(II) complex cis-[(1S,2R,3S)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-diamine]dichloroplatinum(II) (1) and its enantiomer (2) have been synthesized and physically and spectroscopically characterized. To obtain the enantiopure complexes the chiral pool approach was applied. The synthetic pathway has four steps, starting from (+/-)-diphenylethylenediamine (DPEDA) (3) and
