摘要

An efficient synthesis of (R)-3-aminothiolane is described based on a one-pot tandem hydroxyl activation-intramolecular cyclisation of Ts-protected-D-methioninol in the presence of methanesulfonyl chloride/pyridine. Removal of the tosyl group then gave (R)-3-aminothiolane in good yield. (R)-3-Aminothiolane derivatives are important building blocks for the synthesis of biologically active compounds.
