Abstract

The reaction of 1,2-amino alcohols or diamines with an α-phenylvinylsulfonium salt enables a concise synthesis of stereodefined C-substituted morpholines and piperazines in very good yields. Factors affecting regio- and diastereocontrol are discussed. Azepines and oxazepines can also be prepared in moderate yields.
