Abstract

Treatment of N,N-dibenzylaminocyclohex-2-ene with mCPBA in the presence of CCl3CO2H gives 1,2-anti-2,3-syn-1-trichloroacetoxy-2- hydroxy-3-N,N-dibenzylaminocyclohexane with high diastereoselectivity; this methodology has been used to facilitate the metal-free stereoselective syntheses of all the diastereoisomers of 3-dibenzylamino-1,2-dihydroxycyclohexane.
