S. Klutchko et al., SYNTHESIS OF AMINO 1,3-DIOLS - RING-OPENING OF N-ACYL ACTIVATED LACTAMS WITH CARBON NUCLEOPHILES, Synthetic communications, 23(7), 1993, pp. 971-983
A synthesis of 6-amino-7-cyclohexyl-3,5-heptanediol 1 (CDH) and relate
d amino 1,3-diols involving a nucleophilic ring opening of N-acyl acti
vated lactams is described. Stereochemical proof of the 1,3-diol moiet
y is also presented.
