Abstract:
A green and efficient electrochemical method for the synthesis of phosphorylated oxazolines has been developed via ferrocene-mediated electrochemical cyclization of N-allylamides with diarylphosphine oxides. This protocol operates under mild, oxidant-free conditions in an undivided cell setup with constant current. Notably, a wide range of N-allylamides were well tolerated, affording the desired products in moderate to very good yields. Significantly, drug diversification has been proven amenable.

Strong bases like NaOH or KOH deprotonate the phthalimide to form the corresponding anion, which acts as a nucleophile. Further, the anion attacks an...
Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...

Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of...
