Gg. Li et al., alpha,beta-Differentiated tandem diamination of cinnamic esters using N,N-dichloro-2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide and acetonitrile as the nitrogen sources, TETRAHEDR L, 41(45), 2000, pp. 8699-8703
Tandem diamination of cinnamic esters provides a new approach to anti alkyl
N alpha-(2-Ns), N beta -Ac diaminophenylpropionates. The new reaction proc
eeds to completion within 3 hours at room temperature using N,N-dichloro-2-
nitrobenzenesulfonamide (2-NsNCl(2)) as the nitrogen source in acetonitrile
, which is also involved in the reaction process. Seven diamine derivatives
have been obtained with good yields and stereoselectivity. (C) 2000 Elsevi
