The regioselective aminohydroxylation of allylic carbamates.
The synthesis and aminohydroxylation of a series of acyclic allylic carbamates is described: the formation of a putative O=Os=NR linkage between the transition metal and substrate is proposed to account for the high levels of regioselectivity that were observed; proof of the structure of one of the aminohydroxylation products was obtained through X-ray crystallography.
