that found in the BMR of an -hydroxy aldehyde with pinacol
allylboronate which resulted in exclusive formation of the syn
1,2-amino alcohol product,13 and not the expected anti one
when aryl,- allenyl- or aryl-organoboron reagents are used.11,15

In contrast, the analogous -chloroaldehyde to 1 (R1 = n-Bu,
see SI for Scheme), gave, under similar BMR conditions using
benzylamine, followed by treatment with KOH/EtOH/H2O, a
separable mixture of 4 (32%) and its cis-aziridine isomer (10%),
thus indicating significantly poorer diatereoselectivity in the
BMR than its fluoro counterpart.

manipulated steps from aldehydes with excellent
diastereoselectives (dr = 97:3–99:1) and high enantiomeric
purities (ee 86-92%). These compounds would be difficult to
prepare using many of the existing methods due to
incompatibly of the allyl substituent to hydrogenation,9 or
electrophilic fluorine reagents,6 or regioselectivity issues when
using ring-opening of 2-allyl-3-alkyl aziridines with nucleophilic

practical method towards these important compounds.

14 The major anti-diastereomers typically showed a 19F NMR
(CDCl3) resonance at ca δF −125, while the minor syn-
diastereomers at ca δF −130.

16 The ee values of the anti--fluoroamines 2 and ent-2 were
calculated from the dr of their resulting (1S)-
camphorsulfonamide derivatives which were determined by
1H and 19F NMR analysis. Typically, the diastereotopic
methylene protons next to the SO2 group showed well
resolved 1H NMR doublet resonances unique to each
diastereomer. For NBn and NPMB derivatives the
diastereotopic benzylic methylene resonances could also be
used to calculate dr values. In each case, the ratios
calculated from 1H and 19F NMR analysis were identical
within experimental error. In contrast, the resonances for
the (1S)-camphorsulfonamide derivatives of the minor syn-
isomers were relatively minor; with the minor diastereomer
usually not detected.
