Abstract

Abstract Various substituted taurines have been synthesized expeditiously and practically in satisfactory to good yields directly from amino alcohols using a two-step, one-pot procedure, in which the amino alcohols undergo sulfuric acid esterification and subsequent sodium sulfite substitution. Treatment of amino-substituted secondary alcohols using the same procedure gave 2-substituted or 1, 2-disubstituted taurines, indicating the formation of ...
