Abstract
The in situ generation of α-amino aldehydes followed by reaction with dimethyloxosulfonium methylide under Corey-Chaykovsky reaction conditions gives 4-hydroxypyrazolidine derivatives in high yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. This organocatalytic sequential method enables an efficient synthesis of anti-1,2-aminoalcohols.
