Reaction of 1,2-Epoxyalkylsilanes with Azides. Stereoselective Synthesis of 1-Azide-2-hydroxyalkylsilanes as a Synthetic Equivalent of 1-Aminoalkene

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1986.1193

The reaction of 1,2-epoxyalkylsilanes with azidotrimethylsilane or sodium azide provided 1-azido-2-hydroxyalkylsilanes stereoselectively, one of which was successfully converted into a 2-aza-1,3-diene by a three step reaction sequence.
