Abstract
An efficient and regioselective method was developed for the synthesis of β-(nitrooxy)-substituted amine derivatives by ring-opening of different aziridines with Zn(NO3)2·6H2O without using additives or catalyst. A library of β-(nitrooxy)-substituted amine derivatives having a variety of substituents has been synthesized. Excellent regioselectivity, high yields, clean reaction, ease of product isolation, easily accessible reactants, and solvent-free as well as environment friendly reaction conditions are the notable advantages of the present methodology. The nitrooxy derivative was successfully transformed into hydroxy derivative by simple reduction. Gram-scale synthesis demonstrates the potential applications of the present method.
