Abstract

Ring-opening reactions of semicyclic N, O-acetals possessing an exocyclic nitrogen atom with silicon-based nucleophiles (silyl enol ethers, ketene silyl acetals, allylic silanes, and trimethylsilyl cyanide) were systematically studied for the first time. It was found that the reactions were effectively catalyzed by a Lewis acid, trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf), to afford 1, 4-and 1, 5-amino alcohols in high yields. In reactions of 3-oxygen ...
