N-Benzylhydroxylamine hydrochloride may be used in the preparation of a precursor to hitherto unknown aminocyclopentitol derivative, hydroxy functionalised 4-exo-ethoxycarbonyl-3-oxa-2-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane system.
N-Benzylhydroxylamine hydrochloride is a N-substituted-hydroxylamine. It participates in the ring opening of (2S,3R)-1,2-epoxy-4-penten-3-ol. Two-step synthesis of N-benzylhydroxylamine starting from dibenzylamine is reported.
N-Benzylhydroxylamine is a potential pharmacological agent in the prevention and progression of acrolein-induced damage to the retinal pigment epithelium.
