The diastereomeric mixture of 1-[(R)-(¦Á)-Methylbenzylamideformyl)]propane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid anhydride 9s and 1-[(R)-(¦Á)-methylbenzylamideformyl)]propane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid anhydride 9a was isolated as an intermediate under the reaction conditions. This diastereomeric mixture 9s/9a was also prepared by a different route via reaction of 1-(chloroformyl)propane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid anydride 12 with (R)-(¦Á)-methylbenzylamine in the presence of DMA at 0oC for 24 hrs. %K Fumonisin %K AAL Toxin TA %K Actinoplanic acid %K Diastereomers of Tricarballylic acid %K Sphingosine analogs %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/5/4/665
