The regioselective aminohydroxylation of allylic carbamates
Abstract
The synthesis and aminohydroxylation of a series of acyclic
allylic carbamates is described: the formation of a putative
OOs
NR linkage between the transition metal and substrate is
proposed to account for the high levels of regioselectivity that were
observed; proof of the structure of one of the aminohydroxylation products
was obtained through X-ray crystallography.
