Synthesis and Stereochemistry of 1-Acyl-2-alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-3,4-epoxides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00812711

Analogous to the recently described synthesis of Reissert epoxides the treatment of 1-acyl-2-alkyl-1,2-dihydroquinolines with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid gave diastereomeric pure epoxides which are stable in crystalline state, but reactive in solution vers
