Abstract

The 1,4-addition of various primary and secondary amines to 5-methoxyfuran-2(5H)-one in N,N-dimethylformamide or methylene chloride at room temperature affords quantitatively β-amino lactones 1a-g. The latter compounds are conveniently reduced to amino diols in high yields. Under similar conditions 1-(α)-methylbenzylamine gave optically active amino diols.
