Synthesis, structure, and stereochemistry of the bora derivatives of 1-[(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)methyl]proline

Novel chiral bora derivatives of 1-[(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)-methyl]proline have been synthesized in over 98% diastereoselectivity. Their structures and stereochemistry were elucidated by means of 2D NMR spectra as well as quantum-mechanical calculation.
