 The chiral auxiliaries on these compounds are easily removed after hydrazine formation (with azo compounds) or azidation (with trisyl azide).Azidation using the latter reagent is more efficient than bromination followed by nucleophilic substitution by the azide anion Palladium on carbon and hydrogen gas reduce both azide and hydrazide products (the latter only after conversion to the hydrazine).Electrophilic aminating reagents rely on the presence of an electron-withdrawing functional group attached to nitrogen.
