Stereoselective Total Synthesis of (-)-Cytoxazone

We have developed the novel one-pot synthetic method for regioselective and stereoselective N-protected amines through the reaction of various ethers with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI). Also, we found a novel technique to compare directly the stability of carbocations in the solution phase and established the stability order of the various carbocations. And we reported the cleavage of benzyl and p-methoxybenzyl protecting groups of alcohols and phenols in the presence of other functional groups using CSI. (omitted)
