Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(99)00344-5

4-Hydroxy cylohex-2-en-1-one can be converted into a family of highly oxygenated cyclohexyl epoxyvinyltriflates by epoxidation, rearrangement, and epoxidation. Furthermore, double stereoselection via Jacobsen epoxidation enables synthesis of compounds suc
