Starting from (<i>S</i>)-β-phenylalanine, easily accessible by lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution, a chiral triamine was assembled by a reductive amination and finally cyclized to form the title compound <b>10</b>. In the crystals of the guanidinium benzoate salt the six membered rings of <b>10</b> adopt conformations close to an envelope with the phenyl substituents in pseudo-axial positions. The unprotonated guanidine <b>10</b> catalyzes Diels-Alder reactions of anthrones and maleimides (25-3 ...[more]
