(1S,2R)-cis-1-Amino-2-indanol has been synthesized. A unique feature of the synthesis involves securing the functionalities and the configurations of the two stereocenters on an acyclic precursor before cyclizing it into the final ring-skeleton. The strategy allows both the stereocenters to be controlled in an absolute manner.
