A chemoselective functional group installation through catalytic hydroxy group selective conjugate addition of amino alcohols to a variety of functionalized α,β-unsaturated sulfonyl derivatives was developed. Azide group installation for click chemistry and facile fluorescent labeling onto the less reactive hydroxy group demonstrated the synthetic utility of the present chemoselective catalysis. Moreover, chemo- and regioselective reaction of an unprotected amino diol was achieved for the first time.
