Convenient methods for the synthesis of chiral amino alcohols and amines

Abstract

Simple, convenient methods have been developed using readily available, easy-to-handle reagents to access a variety of chiral amino alcohols and amines, which have considerable potential for applications in asymmetric organic transformations. Scholars from this laboratory in India have made significant contributions to this field, which is the subject of the current review. © Schweizerische Chemische Gesellschaft.
