The addition of primary and secondary aliphatic amines to glycal-derived allyl epoxides is completely 1,2-regio- and anti-stereoselective, whereas mixtures of the corresponding anti-1,2- [3-N-(substituted-amino) glycals] and anti-1,4-addition products (N-glycosyl amines) are obtained with N-(mesyl)-aziridines. In this way, structural moieties, otherwise difficult to synthesize, are obtained by means of a very simple protocol. The regio- and stereoselectivity observed with epoxides is the consequence of an isomerization process, whereas the result obtained with aziridines is explained by the absence of an effective substrate-nucleophile (amine) coordination.
