Reaction of Sodium Azide with 1,1'–Dicyclohexenyl–Diepoxides

Abstract

Nucleophilic ring opening of dl and meso 1,1¢- dicyclohexenyl diepoxides by sodium azide in dioxane and aqueous alcoholic medium give the corresponding azidoalcohols. The obtention of departure diepoxides from diazidoalcohols by the reaction with sodium hydride shows the anti position of OH and N3 groups.
