The 1,4-addition of O-benzylhydroxylamine to imides 3 in the presence of various Lewis acids is described.The reaction is performed in CH2Cl2 at -78 deg C and affords derivatives 4 and 5 in good chemical yields and in different diastereomeric ratios, depending on the Lewis acid employed.TiCl4 and Me2AlCl give opposite diastereoselectivities.Furthemore, enantiomerically pure β-amino acid 9 is obtained in good yield from compound 4a.
