One‐Pot Addition/Reduction Procedure for the Synthesis of ‐Amino Alcohols from ‐Enamino Ketones

γ-Amino alcohols 3 have been synthesized by the addition of organolithium reagents to β-enamino ketones 1 followed by one-pot reduction with sodium triacetoxyborohydride. The method allows the stereoselective synthesis of γ-amino alcohols in which the hydroxy group is bonded to a fully substituted carbon atom. The relative configuration of the chiral product was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
