Abstract

A series of 1,1 -disubstituted taurines was synthesized expeditiously from ketones via the Corey-Chaykovsky epoxidation with dimethylsulfonium methylide, episulfidation with potassium sulfocyanate, ring-opening reaction with ammonia in the presence of silver nitrate, followed by treatment with hydrogen sulfide and oxidation with performic acid.
