ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF 1,2-AMINOALCOHOL, 1,3-AMINOALCOHOL AND 1,4-AMINOALCOHOL BY THE ADDITION OF DIALKYLZINCS TO 1,2-AMINOALDEHYDE,1,3-AMINOALDEHYDE AND 1,4-AMINOALDEHYDE

Chiral 1,3- and 1,4-aminoalcohols were prepared by the addition of fun
ctionalized dialkylzincs to 1,3-aliphatic and 1,4-unsaturated aminoald
ehydes with good to excellent enantioselectivity. Syn- or anti-1,2-ami
noalcohols are stereoselectively obtained by asymmetric addition of di
alkylzincs to alpha-aminoaldehydes depending on the choice of the chir
al catalyst. A chelate controlled addition is observed if less than st
oichiometric amounts of Ti(Oi-Pr)(4) are used. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scien
