To access the final edited and published work see https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.2c02496.We present a unique strategy for the synthesis of vicinal amino alcohols. Ring opening of aziridines with pendant silanols is compatible with a range of substrates. To engage productively in ring opening, the aziridine must be at least mildly activated, and a variety of such N-substituents are tolerated. The utility of this methodology is highlighted in facile preparations of the natural products (±)-Clavaminol H, (±)-dihydrosphingosine, and (±)-N-hexanoyldihydrosphingosine as well as a natural product analogue (±)-des-acetyl-Clavaminol H.Copyright © 2022 American Chemical SocietyAlcoholsAziridinesCyclizationEthersPharmaceuticalsArticle10.1021/acs.orglett.2c02496https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5270-7177https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4705-7349PMC10017055embargoedAccess
