    Abstract

    (-) -5-Methyl-6, 7-dihydro-5H-dibenz[c, e]azepine 4, a new secondary amine featuring an axis-center stereochemical relay, was prepared enantioselectively from 2'-acetylbiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid, using (R) -2-phenylglycinol as an auxiliary for the control of both elements of chirality. The biaryl axis in 4 preferentially adopts the aS-configuration, with the methyl substituent pseudoequatorial, but conversion into the corresponding N-Boc derivative locks the axis into the aR-configuration, as predicted on the basis of molecular mechanics calculations. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
