Abstract

Optically active β-azido alcohols are of great significance as potential precursors for non-racemic aziridines 1 and β-amino alcohols. 2 The latter compounds are not only a common structural component in a vast group of naturally occurring and synthetic molecules, but also can be widely used as versatile chiral building blocks and chiral catalysts 3 in organic synthesis. In particular, chiral 2-amino-1-arylethanols are important structural elements in ...
