Procedure
The procedure described under h) was carried out using 15 g of ethyl trimethyl-pyruvate and 50 g of (R)-1-phenylethylamine. There were isolated 14.9 g of (47%) of (R)-3,3-dimethyl-N-[(R)-1-phenylethyl]-2-(1-phenylethylimino)-butyramide of melting point 95°-96° C. [α]=+59.6 (c=1.0, CHCl3).
