I. The stereochemistry of the opening of the imine ring with various reagents. II. The attempted reduction of naturally occuring threonine to 3-amino-2-butanol
The 2,3-iminobutanes react with acetic acid to give products that are easily converted without isolation into 3-acetamido-2-acetoxybutanes. Comparisons of the latter with samples of known configuration demonstrate that ring opening occurs in a trans manner. Attempts to prepare 3-p-toluenesulfonamid...
