Abstract

A practical, efficient, and organocatalytic approach to the synthesis of (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyornithine and (+)-pseudohygroline is reported using proline-catalyzed sequential α-aminoxylation/α-amination reaction and Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination reaction of an aldehyde as the key step.

Key words

aldehydes - amination - amino alcohols - Wittig reaction - cyclization - enantioselectivity
