Sharpless oxyamination

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sharpless oxyamination (often known as Sharpless aminohydroxylation) is the chemical reaction of alkenes with alkyl imido osmium compounds to form vicinal amino-alcohols.[1][2][3] A comprehensive review of this reaction was authored by McLeod et al in 2002.[4]

The Sharpless oxyamination

Vicinal amino-alcohols are important products in organic synthesis and recurring pharmacophores in drug discovery.[5]
