An efficient method for the preparation of six-membered cyclic dithiocarbamates is described, in which triethylamine effectively promotes the reaction of 1-amino-3-chloropropan-2-ol derivatives with carbon disulfide. On the basis of the...

Efficient regioselective synthesis of β-amino alcohol derivatives, including enantioenriched ones, by tetraarylphosphonium salt-catalyzed coupling reaction of epoxides with trichloroacetonitrile is described. Formal [3+2] cycloaddition followed by hydrolysis proceeded smoothly to...
