Synthesis of piperazines

Recent Literature


A highly diastereoselective intramolecular hydroamination is the key step in a modular synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted piperazines. The requisite hydroamination substrates were prepared in excellent yields by nucleophilic displacement of cyclic sulfamidates derived from amino acids. Various alkyl and aryl substituents at the 2-position were tolerated.
