Reactions of N-silyl- and N-aluminoimines with B- allyldiisopinocampheylborane in the presence of methanol, followed by oxidative workup furnished homoallylic amines in good yields and high ee. A 11B NMR spectroscopy study revealed that the reactions do not proceed, even at room temperature, unless a molar equivalent of water or methanol is added. The first reagent-controlled asymmetric crotylboration and alkoxyallylboration of aldimines furnishing β-methyl or βalkoxy homoallylic amines in very high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity are reported herein. Crotylboration and alkoxyallylboration of imines proceed only with the "allyl"-boron "ate" complexes, instead of the "allyl"-dialkylboron reagents used with aldehydes. The addition of methanol is necessary for these reactions as well. Application of this methodology for the conversion of representative nitriles to β-amino acids in two steps has been described. Additionally, a procedure for the preparation of chiral δ-amino alcohols and γ-lactams from nitriles is also reported.
