Abstract
An easy, high yielding and stereoselective procedure for the preparation of tertiary γ-amino alcohols starting from β-enamino esters is presented. In this procedure, the double alkylation of β-enamino esters with organolithium reagents is followed by one-pot reduction with sodium borohydride in methanol/acetic acid. A hypothesis of mechanism is given, explaining the observed diastereoselectivity through molecular modeling. The configuration of the products was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy coupled with conformational analysis.
