Acyloxymethyl radicals, that add to imines, were generated from the
corresponding iodomethyl esters by the action of dimethylzinc or triethylborane.
A facile hydrolysis of the acyloxy moiety of the adducts gave the corresponding
amino alcohols in good yield.

N-Benzyldiphenylphosphinamides are deprotonated at the NCα position
diastereospecifically upon treatment with t-BuLi in diethyl ether at low
temperature. Reaction of the anions with various electrophiles and subsequent cleavage of the P-N linkage affords 1,2-amino alcohols and α-, β-, and γ-amino
acids.

A highly efficient, mild and practical approach for the synthesis of
optically pure β-amino alcohols by the SmI2-induced reductive
cross-coupling of various chiral N-tert-butanesulfinyl imines with
aldehydes was developed.
