- promising starting point for pursuing this ring-opening attempt [41]. We hypothesized that this approach would allow the synthesis of 3-amino-1,2-diols, a motif commonly found in pharmaceuticals such as, e.g., β-blockers [42]. Our envisioned one-pot protocol features protonation of the azetidine from
- in the synthesis of highly functionalized dioxolanes and 3-amino-1,2-diols. We believe that the concept of building and releasing strain energy, particularly when paired with photochemical means, is of general interest and its structural simplicity should allow for an expansion to other substrates
