“…The reaction of epoxide 2 with n-propylamine (as the solvent/ nucleophile, protocol A) and tetramethylguanidine azide (TMGA in MeCN, protocol B) 14 was not useful to our aim because only the corresponding anti-1,2-addition product, the trans amino alcohol 23 and trans azido alcohol 24, respectively, were obtained in a completely 1,2-regio-and anti-stereoselective fashion, in accordance with the corresponding results previously obtained with epoxides 1b and 1b-Me (Scheme 11). 1a,d,15 Decidedly different is the behavior of epoxide 2 with a further source of azide, TMSN 3 in MeCN (protocol B).…”
