Abstract
A series of 1-substituted taurines, including optically active taurines, were synthesized expeditiously from epoxides via episulfidation with potassium sulfocyanate, ring-opening with dibenzylamine, followed by oxidation with performic acid, and hydrogenolysis in the presence of palladium hydroxide on carbon powder. This method was also used for the synthesis of trans-cyclic taurines.
