Taurine and structurally diverse substituted taurines have been synthesized by peroxyformic acid, oxidation of the thiazolidine-2-thione intermediates generated from, vicinal amino alcohols or aziridines and carbon disulfide. The stereochemistry and mechanisms of the reactions are disscussed. The method is a salt-free and versatile route, convenient in terms of purification, and can be used to synthesize optically active substituted taurines.
