Abstract

Abstract A facile synthesis of a wide variety of N-protected β-amino alcohol derivatives under mild conditions is described. N-urethane protected amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (UNCAs) were used as starting material and reduced into the corresponding alcohols with the appropriate hydride, sodium borohydride. The reaction is simple, unexpensive, easily scaled up, and proceeds without observable racemization.
