title: Copper-catalyzed aminooxygenation of N-allylamidines with PhI(OAc)2.
abstract: A Cu-catalyzed aminoacetoxylation of N-alkenylamidines has been achieved using PhI(OAc)(2) as an oxygen source for synthesis of 4-acetoxymethyl-4,5-dihydroimidazoles, which could be further converted into 2,3-diaminopropanol derivatives using AlH(3) as a reductant.
