Abstract
An acid-promoted synthesis of azaheterocycles from N-carbamate-protected amino alcohols involves the activation of the hydroxyl group via the use of orthoesters. Despite the reduced nucleophilicity of carbamate nitrogen, this reaction system provides several types of pyrrolidines and piperidines in very good yields.
