A protecting group free synthesis of 2,3-cis substituted hydroxypyrrolidines is reported. Two novel reaction methodologies allow for the stereoselective formation of cyclic carbamates from olefinic amines, and the formation of primary amines via a Vasella/reductive amination reaction, both performed in aqueous media.
