Simple Preparation of β-Amino Alcohols Possessing a tert-Butyl Group at the α-Carbon

Abstract

Simple preparation of β-amino alcohols possessing a tert-butyl group at the α-carbon was achieved. These β-amino alcohols proved to work effectively as catalysts in the enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes.

Key words

amino alcohols - alkylation - organocatalysis - enantio­selectivity - rearrangements
