Abstract

Abstract Three different routes were probed for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched 2- (1-aminoethyl) phenols and their methyl ethers. The first route centers on diastereoselective nucleophile addition to chiral imines. The second route has as key steps the enantioselective reduction of a ketone followed by nucleophilic substitution, and the third route involves a diastereoselective imine reduction. The efficiency of the approach ...
