Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of chiral enantiomerically pure .beta.-amino alcohols which are extraordinarily important as therapeutic agents for the treatment of a variety of human disorders and as chiral auxiliaries in organic synthesis. The hydroboration of enamines is a versatile and convenient method for the synthesis of both racemic and enantiomerically pure .beta.-amino alcohols in high yields. This methodology enables the synthesis of virtually any .beta.-amino alcohol. Hydroboration of these enamines with chiral organic borohydrides, e.g. either mono- or diisopinocampheylborane, followed by oxidation with aqueous or solid NaOH/30% H.sub.2 O.sub.2 or Me.sub.3 NO, gives the corresponding chiral .beta.-amino alcohol. Enantiomeric excesses ranged from 60% for reactions run at 25.degree. C. to greater than 99% for reactions run at -25.degree. C.

An intermediate compound is formed which is an adduct of the desired organometallic compound and a Group I-A or Group II-A compound.

The method can be used to produce organometallic compounds which are substantially free of volatile metallic compounds and complexed solvents. A method of separating volatile Group II-B impurities from volatile Group III-A compounds is also disclosed.
