Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02253025

The reaction of 5-R-bicyclo[2.2.1]-2-heptenes with 3-azido-4-hydroxy-4-methyltetrahydropyran and 4-azidomethyl-4-hydroxytetrahydropyran, obtained by opening the oxirane ring in epoxytetrahydropyrans with sodium azide, leads to the formation of N-tetrahydropyranylaziridines with 100% stereoselectivity. 1998 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
