Expeditious synthesis of 1-substituted taurines with diverse functionalized side-chains

A radical addition reaction and subsequent performic acid oxidation were used for the synthesis of 1-substituted taurines with diverse functionalized side-chains from N-allylphthalimide and various xanthates. The current approach shows high yields and short synthetic route and reaction time. Moreover, the current method is a convenient and practical method for the synthesis of 1-substituted taurines with different functionalized side-chains.
