A novel, simple, chemoselective and practical protocol for the reduction of azides using In/NH4Cl

Abstract A simple, mild and efficient method for the reduction of azides to amines using In/NH 4 Cl is described.

A New Novel and Practical One Pot Methodology for Conversion of Alcohols to Amines

Abstract A convenient and efficient one pot sequence has been developed for the transformation of alcohols to amines using Sodium azide, triphenylphosphine in CC14-DMF.

A practical approach for the optically pure N-Methyl-α-amino acids

Abstract A new practical synthesis of N-Methyl-α-amino acids by racemization free methodology has been developed. The method involves the reductive cleavage of N-protected oxazolidinones using hydrogen in the presence of Pd C to give the title compounds in quantitative yields.

A novel Wittig reaction of oxazolidinones: Stereospecific synthesis of N-BOC-(3S,4S)-Statine and N-BOC-(3S,4S)-AHPPA

Abstract Stereospecific synthesis of N-BOC-(3 S ,4 S )-Statine and N-BOC-(3 S ,4 S )-AHPPA is achieved via a novel Wittig reaction of oxazolidinones in an efficient manner.

An enantioselective synthesis of (1S,2S)-pseudoephedrine†

Synthesis of (1S,2S)-pseudoephedrine is described via reduction of an alanine-derived oxazolidinone followed by treating with phenyl magnesium bromide and chemoselective N-methylation in an efficient and practical manner.

SELECTIVE REDUCTIONS OF OXAZOLIDINONES : NEW PROTOCOL FOR DIASTEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF VICINAL AMINO ALCOHOLS

Abstract Selective reductions of oxazolidinones using sodium borohydride and their application to the diastereoselective synthesis of vicinal amino alcohols are described.

A Novel, Simple and Rapid Protocol For N-Protected-oxazolidine-5-ones

Abstract A simple and efficient method for the preparation of N-protected oxazolidine-5-ones using microwave irradiation is described.

A Novel, Practical and Highly Chemoselective Methodology for Reduction of Disulphides to Thiols

Abstract A novel, simple and efficient method for the reduction of disulfides to thiols using In/NH4Cl is described.
