Diastereoselective addition of amines to (l)-5-menthyloxy-2-(5H)-furanone yields aminolactones that upon reduction with LiAlH4 provide enantiomerically pure aminodiols.

The synthesis of enantiomerically pure β-amino-γ-butyrolactones via asymmetric conjugate addition of various amines to 5-methyloxy-2(5H)-furanone is described.This route provides access to new multifunctional homochiral building blocks.The absolute configuration of the β-amino-γ-butyrolactones is established by X-ray analysis and 1H NMR correlation.The conjugate addition of amines to 2(5H)-furanone, 5-alkyl-2(5H)-furanones and 5-alkoxy-2(5H)-furanones was studied and an enhanced reactivity was observed in 2(5H)-furanones due to a γ-alkoxy-effect.The synthetic utility of the asymmetric amine addition is illustrated in an efficient route to various optically pure 2-amino-1,4-butanediols.
