Abstract
The highly chemo- and enantioselective organocatalytic tandem reaction between N-carbamate-protected hydroxylamines and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is presented. The reaction represents a unique entry for the asymmetric synthesis of 5-hydroxyisoxazolidines, oxazolidin-5-ones or γ-hydroxyamino alcohols in high yields and 90-99% ee. A procedure for the conversion of the oxazolidin-5-ones into the corresponding β-amino acids is also described.
Key words
organocatalysis - amination reactions - β-amino acid synthesis - isoxazolidines - asymmetric catalysis

Catalyst 4 did not catalyze this transformation with cinnamaldehydes under our reaction conditions. However, amine 4 catalyzes this transformation when aliphatic enals are used as substrates.
