Sharpless oxyamination
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sharpless oxyamination (often known as Sharpless aminohydroxylation) is the chemical reaction that converts an alkene to a vicinal amino alcohol. The reaction is related to the Sharpless dihydroxylation, which converts alkenes to vicinal diols.[1] Vicinal amino-alcohols are important products in organic synthesis and recurring pharmacophores in drug discovery.
