ChemInform Abstract: Asymmetric Synthesis of Optically Active 3-Amino-1,2-diols from N-Acyl-Protected Allylamines via Catalytic Diboration with Rh[bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl] Catalysts.

The scalable one-pot title reaction allows for the transformation of N-acyl protected amines including imides, amides, and carbamates, bearing a terminal allyl group or, for the first time, a 1,2-substituted E-alkene moiety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
