Abstract

Using (R)-3-beilzyl-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-thione (2) as model compound, a sequence of reactions has been established that allows the chiral auxiliary deprotection to furnish a primary amine. Treatment of 2 with ethyl triflate (3b) followed by ring opening with RbI (4b) and HI elimination with DBU, in a one pot process, gave S-ethyl-N-benzyl-N-1- phenylvinylcarbamothioate (5, 95% yield) which acid hydrolysis (9) and saponification ...
