Dg. Mazhukin et al., SYNTHESIS OF ALIPHATIC 1,2-BISHYDROXYLAMINES FROM 1,3-DIHYDROXYIMIDAZOLIDINES - THE CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF 1,2-BISHYDROXYLAMINOCYCLOALKANES, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(5), 1993, pp. 851-857
Reduction of 1-hydroxy-3-imidazoline-3-oxides with NaBH4 gives 1,3-dih
ydroxyimidazolidines. The latter on subsequent treatment with NH2OH.HC
l in EtOH or in hydrochloric acid afford 1,2-bishydroxylamines. An X-r
ay study of 1,2-bishydroxylaminocycloalkanes has shown them to be cis-
configurated.
