A ONE-POT AZA-PAYNE REARRANGEMENT-EPOXIDE RING-OPENING REACTION OF 2-AZIRIDINEMETHANOLS - A REGIOSELECTIVE AND STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHETIC ROUTE TO DIASTEREOMERICALLY PURE 1,2-AMINO ALCOHOLS
K. Nakai et al., A ONE-POT AZA-PAYNE REARRANGEMENT-EPOXIDE RING-OPENING REACTION OF 2-AZIRIDINEMETHANOLS - A REGIOSELECTIVE AND STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHETIC ROUTE TO DIASTEREOMERICALLY PURE 1,2-AMINO ALCOHOLS, Tetrahedron letters, 36(35), 1995, pp. 6247-6250
A regio- and stereoselective synthetic route to diastereomerically pur
e 1,2-amino alcohols via a one-pot aza-Payne rearrangement - epoxide r
ing opening reaction of 2-aziridinemethanols is reported. Satisfactory
yields are obtained in excellent diastereoisomeric excesses by succes
sive exposure of 2-aziridinemethanols to potassium hydride and nucleop
hilic reagents in a one-pot manner.
