Stereoselective synthesis of N-hydroperoxyalkyloxaziridines: A new class of heterocyclic hydroperoxides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1997-1393

Irradiation of hydroperoxynitrones 3, which call be easily prepared by dye-sensitized photooxygenation of 2-methoxyfuran (1) in the presence of' oximes 2, leads to the highly functionalized trans.oxaziridines 4. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature in fairly good yields.
