title: Aminohydroxyacetone synthons: versatile intermediates for the organocatalytic asymmetric aldol reaction.
abstract: A practical method for the synthesis of 1,3-aminohydroxyacetone synthons was developed, and their utility in the organocatalytic asymmetric aldol reaction was demonstrated in a short synthesis of aza-sugars.
