Directed reduction of beta-amino ketones to syn or anti 1,3-amino alcohol derivatives.
[reaction: see text] The reduction of beta-amino ketones with samarium(II) iodide has been investigated. Either the syn or anti 1,3-amino alcohols can be obtained as the major product due to a divergence in selectivity with different N-protecting groups.
