Hydroxyamination of olefins using Br-N-(CO2Me)2.

ABSTRACT: The hydroxyamination reagent Br-N-(CO2Me)2 underwent Markovnikov addition to various olefins in the presence of catalytic BF3·OEt2 and provides efficient access to aminoalcohols. The reaction provided the trans-1-bromo, 2-N-bis-carbamate adduct stereoisomer in all cases. The resulting adduct underwent cyclization to give an oxazolidinone, which could be readily hydrolyzed to an oxazolidin-2-one or an amino alcohol.
