Racemic and enantiopure benzofuranmethanamines 5a-c have been reacted with
N-Boc-3-(4-cyanophenyl)oxaziridine to give N-Boc-hydrazines 7a-c, which hav
e in turn been transformed by deprotection and cyclisation into triazoles 4
a-c, potent antiaromatase agents, in good overall yield and with high enant
iomeric excess. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
