SYNTHESIS OF 1-EPIHYDANTOCIDIN FROM D-RIBOSE

A key step in a short synthesis of 1-epihydantocidin (2) is the unanticipated transformation of azidolactones (8) and (10) to a bicyclic amine (12) induced by tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate in the presence of morpholine-N-oxide. The structure of (12) was established by X-ray crystallographic an...
