Corey-Chaykovsky Epoxidation of Twisted Amides: Synthesis and Reactivity of Bridged Spiro-epoxyamines
The first example of a Corey-Chaykovsky epoxidation employing amides as substrates is described. Medium-bridged twisted amides serve as precursors to a family of isolable aminoepoxides. The reactivity of bridged spiro-epoxyamines is also investigated.
