SynthesisDOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1217101AbstractSelective oxidation of diethylene glycol by a ruthenium(VIII)
species, obtained in situ from ruthenium(III) chloride-sodium periodate
in the presence of a catalytic quantity of water, affords a monoaldehyde
in the form of the internal acetal 2-hydroxy-1,4-dioxane. This compound
was used in reductive alkylations of selected primary and secondary
amines, demonstrating its utility in the preparation of target structures
with the 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethylamino unit.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag

Claisen condensation of N-protected cyclic amides with esters of
perfluorocarboxylic acids followed by deprotection and decarboxylation
in acidic media leads to the desired products. Reduction of these

reactions occur with high simple diastereoselectivity and, when

Under similar conditions, but in acetonitrile rather than benzene

reaction of -acyl enamines (enamides)
gives the corresponding protected 3-aminooxetanes. The -products are obtained with significant
