Abstract

(Matrix presented) The pH-controlled Sharpless asymmetric aminohydroxylation (AA) of styrenes provides 1-aryl-2-amino ethanols (regioisomer E enantio-, chemo-, and regioselectivity. As existing AA protocols typically give regioisomer A as the major reaction product when usin nitrogen sources, this method is a convenient alternative for the selective production of regioisomer B.
