Abstract
2, 3-Epoxyalcohols react with diethylaluminium azide under mild conditions to give 3-azido- 1, 2-diols resulting from the regio-and stereoselective attack of the nucleophile at the epoxide C-3. The high regioselectivity (> 25: 1) observed with both cis and trans substituted epoxides is not affected by bulky substituents at C-3. The method has been successfully applied also to the synthesis of diaminodiol dipeptide isosteres.
