Ch. Senanayake et al., REGIOCONTROLLED AND STEREOCONTROLLED SYNTHESES OF CYCLIC CHIRAL CIS-AMINO ALCOHOLS FROM 1,2-DIOLS OR EPOXIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 36(42), 1995, pp. 7615-7618
The behavior of 1,2-dioxygen derivatives of indane, tetralin, and benz
osuberane in acetonitrile-strong acid media is exploited in the regio-
and stereocontrolled syntheses of chiral cis-amino alcohols.
