The most direct synthesis of optically active 1,2-aminoalcohols is the reduction of natural α-aminoacids or derivatives, 7 but this method is limited by the nature of lateral chains and optical antipode. Other racemic methods coupled with enzymatic 8a or chemical 8b resolution have thus been developed, providing a greater variety of 1,2-aminoalcohols. ... Few stereoselective preparations have been reported. The synthesis of optically active 2-amino-1- ...
