“…In general, aminoalcohols are synthesized through the aminolysis of epoxides and considering the applications of β‐aminoalcohols, numerous catalysts such as metal alkoxides, metal triflates, metal amides and triflamide, metal halides, transition metal salts, zirconium sulfophenyl phosphonate, hexafluoro‐2‐propanol under reflux (HFIP), ionic liquid, silica, alumina/modified alumina, montmorillonite clay, zeolites, Fe‐MCM‐41, poly(amidoamine) dendrimer supported on cross‐linked polystyrene, heterodimetallic coordination polymers, and N ‐formyl‐L‐proline, have been developed to afford various types of aminoalcohols in high yields. Along with all these catalysts, water has also been reported to promote the aminolysis of epoxides with aliphatic and aromatic amines without need of any other catalyst, though in these reactions, excess of nucleophiles was used to obtain high yields which emerged the need of purification step.…”
