The reaction of dienyl carbamates with PhI(OR)2 in the presence of rhodium catalysts affords vinyl aziridines which are in situ regio- and stereoselectively opened to afford oxyamination products resulting from a selective S(N)2 (Rh2(OAc)4/PhI(OPiv)2) or S(N)2' (Rh2(OPiv)4/PhI(OAc)2) opening. The scope and limitations of this tandem process are described.
A general protocol for the enantioselectivesynthesis of 3-heterosubstituted-2-amino-1-ols was developed based on metal- free intramolecular regio- and stereoselective diene aziridination and regioselective opening. Kinetic resolution of the resulting (1'-NR1 R2 and 1'-SR)-4-oxazolidinones was performed using ABCs organocatalysts, expanding the application of this methodology.
