ChemInform Abstract: Reaction of 5‐Aryloxazolidines with Arylmagnesium Bromides as a New Route to N‐Benzyl‐β‐hydroxyphenethylamines as Starting Materials for the Preparation of 4‐Aryl‐1, 2, 3, 4‐tetrahydroisoquinolines. Issue 36 (15th August 2013) - Moshkin, Vladimir S.
Abstract The two‐step sequence involves ring‐opening of 5‐aryloxazolidines in the presence of arylmagnesium bromides followed by acid‐catalyzed cyclization of the resulting amino alcohols.
