General description

Ephedrines are quite significant components in asymmetric synthesis; they are commonly used as key components in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds. They are also used as reagents/ catalytic substances or ligands for the synthesis of aryl/heteroaryl derivatives and organometallic complexes.

Application

(1S,2R)-(+)-Ephedrine hydrochloride may be used in the preparation of (R)-methcathinone via permanganate method of oxidation.
