Abstract

We have established practical protocols to the stereoselective synthesis of syn- and anti-β-amino alcohols via the electrophile-promoted intramolecular amination of trichloroacetimidates derived from allylic and homoallylic alcohols. Stereoselective total synthesis of natural products containing β-amino alcohol functionality has been achieved by means of these methods.
