Free-radical functionalisation of β-amino alcohols via 1,5-hydrogen atom abstraction in 1,3-oxazolidines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(99)01344-1

Functionalisation of ethanolamine at the carbon atom α- to nitrogen can be achieved in a diastereoselective C-4 alkylation of 1,3-oxazolidines using free-radical methodology.
