Aziridination of cyclohex-2-en-1-ol and geraniol: comparison with epoxidation
Abstract
Aziridination of cyclohex-2-en-1-ol with 3-acetoxyamino-2-ethylquinazolone (1) is highly stereoselective, and reaction with geraniol is highly regioselective for the allylic alcohol double bond; comparisons are made with the corresponding reactions of peracids.
