Abstract

A mild, efficient, and metal-free synthetic protocol for the synthesis of β-amino alcohols is reported. The reaction proceeds at room temperature with only 0.5 mol % catalyst loading and affords β-amino alcohol derivatives in excellent yield. This protocol is well-tolerated by a wide range of styrene oxide and aniline derivatives. A notably efficacious gram-scale synthesis is also reported with a high TON=842. Further, the Hammett correlation study was also performed to identify the rate-determining step.
