Enantioselective Synthesis of <i>syn</i>- and <i>anti</i>-1,3-Aminoalcohols via β-Aminoketones and Subsequent Reduction/Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformation

Abstract

β-Aminoketones obtained from imines in an organocatalytic Mannich reaction were transformed to enantio- and diastereomerically pure 1,3-aminoalcohols with two stereogenic centers via a combined reduction/dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation. Both syn and anti diastereomers were obtained in high yield, dr, and ee.
