Regioselective activation and protection of the chiral building block 1, readily available from L-aspartic acid, leads to the key intermediate 8. Employing classical nucleophiles, heterocyclic anions or organocuprates, 8 could be transformed into the displacement products 9. Finally, hydrolysis affords the homochiral 1,2-amino alcohols 4 in 48-77% yield (based on 8).

A general chiral pool synthesis of 1,2-amino alcohols of type 4 is reported.
