Abstract

Asymmetric synthesis of γ-amino alcohols from unprotected allylic alcohols by a copper-catalyzed hydroamination strategy has been developed. Using easily accessible starting materials, a range of chiral 1,3-amino alcohols were prepared with excellent regio- and enantioselectivity. Further, this protocol provided an efficient one-step method for the enantioselective synthesis of γ-amino alcohols in an intermolecular manner.
