The choice is yours : A highly stereoselective synthesis of α‐alkyl‐α‐hydroxy‐β‐amino esters is accomplished through a tandem Wittig‐rearrangement/Mannich reaction sequence. Transformations of N ‐benzyl or N ‐Boc imines proceed with high selectivity for formation of syn ‐amino alcohol derivatives, whereas N ‐Boc‐2‐(phenylsulfonyl)amines generate anti ‐amino alcohol products. Auxiliary cleavage (transesterification or reduction) yields enantiomerically enriched products with up to 96 %  ee.
