✦ Synopsis
A series of chiral b-amino alcohols was prepared by the reaction of secondary amines with a 1:1 mixture of cis-and trans-limonene oxide in the presence of water as a catalyst. The b-amino alcohol obtained was derived from the trans-limonene oxide, and the unreacted cis-limonene oxide was recovered from the reaction mixture. The b-amino alcohols are useful chiral auxiliaries for the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde.

b-Amino alcohols 4a-e were easily prepared from L-phenylalanine in three simple straightforward steps. The key intermediate compound (S)-3 was achieved in high yield (up to 92%) with glutaraldehyde and NaBH 4 /H 2 SO 4 in THF at room temperature. These five ligands were applied to catalyze enantiose
