โฆ Synopsis
2,3-Epoxyalcohols react with diethylaluminium azide under mild conditions to give 3-azido-l,2-diols resulting from the regio-and stereoseleetive attack of the nucleophile at the epoxide C-3. The high regioseleetivity (>25:1) observed with both cis and trans substituted epoxides is not affected by bulky substituents at C-3. The method has been successfully applied also to the synthesis of diaminodiol dipeptide isosteres.

Diethylaluminium cyanide is a highly selective reagent for the ring opening of 2,3-epoxyalcohols under mild conditions; the reaction takes place at C-3, with inversion of configuration, to give 1-cyano-2,3-diols.
