Abstract
Burgess reagent, (methoxycarbonylsulfamoyl)triethylammonium hydroxide, usually used for the dehydration of secondary or tertiary alcohols, was successfully employed in the formation of sulfamidates from the corresponding epoxides. It was further shown that the same reaction with aromatic epoxides results in the formation of seven-membered ring systems.
Key words

20Homochiral aminoalcohol i has been used to prepare the bicyclic derivative ii, conversion of ii to the asymmetric version of the Burgess reagent and its reactions with meso and racemic epoxides are under investigation (Scheme [7] ).
