STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF α,β-EPOXYPHENYLKETONES FROM α,α-DIBROMOPHENYLKETONES AND ALDEHYDES USING STANNOUS FLUORIDE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1981.723

trans-α,β-Epoxyphenylketones are stereoselectively synthesized via aldol type intermediates under mild conditions starting from α,α-dibromophenylketones and aldehydes using stannous fluoride.
