Abstract

Catalytic asymmetric ring-opening reactions of meso-epoxides with aromatic amines have been explored. The reactions proceeded in the presence of a catalytic amount of bismuth triflate (Bi(OTf 3 ), chiral bipyridine ligand (1) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) in pure water to give the corresponding β-amino alcohols in good yields with high enantioselectivities.
