title: Asymmetric syntheses of new functionalized beta-amino alcohols via diastereoselective addition of organometallic reagents onto oxazolidines.
abstract: Diastereoselective reactions between (S)-phenylglycinol-derived oxazolidines and two unsaturated organolithium reagents afforded chiral beta-amino alcohols having vinyl and alkynylsilane moieties. When the same reactions were performed in the presence of titanium isopropoxide, a dramatic change of regioselectivity was observed, from the alpha- to the gamma-position, thus producing beta-amino alcohols with allyl or allenylsilane functions. A rationalization of the observed diastereoselectivity was suggested for each case.
