title: Corey-Chaykovsky epoxidation of twisted amides: synthesis and reactivity of bridged spiro-epoxyamines.
abstract: The first example of a Corey-Chaykovsky epoxidation employing amides as substrates is described. Medium-bridged twisted amides serve as precursors to a family of isolable aminoepoxides. The reactivity of bridged spiro-epoxyamines is also investigated.
