Chiral 1,3-perhydrobenzoxazines 1, 2, and 9-14, prepared by condensation of 8-(benzylamino)-menthol with different aldehydes, react with alkylmagnesium bromides and trimethylaluminum leading to the open amino alcohols 3a-d, 4a-d, and 15-20 in excellent chemical yields and good to excellent diastereomeric excess. The sequential elimination of the menthol appendage by heating with P2O5 and the benzyl group by hydrogenolysis lead to primary amines 7a-d, 8a-d, and 27-30 in excellent chemical yields and ee. The addition of the alkyl group from the Grignard derivatives and the methyl group from the trimethylaluminum occurs from opposite sides of the heterocycle, yielding the final primary amines with the same stereochemistry.
