Abstract

Enantioselective 1,2-Addition reaction of α-Aminoalkyl radical to α,β-unsaturated or aromatic aldehydes to synthesize highly optically active β-Amino alcohols has been developed. In the presence of chiral oxazaborolidinium ion catalyst and photosensitizer, the reaction provides desired β-Amino allylic or benzylic alcohols with high yields (up to 99%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).
