The alkylative rearrangement of 1,2-epoxy-3-alkanol tosylates is applied to the synthesis of chiral epoxide pheromones.Attack at the terminal carbon atom of epoxy tosylates by lithioacetylenes and cyclization of the intermediate tosyloxy alcohols produces
ALKYLATIVE EPOXIDE REARRANGEMENT. APPLICATION TO STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF CHIRAL PHEROMONE EPOXIDES.
Bell, Thomas W.,Claccio, James A.
, p. 865 - 868 (2007/10/02)
An approach is described for the stereospecific conversion of threo and erythro 1,2-epoxy-3-alkanol tosylates to cis and trans internal epoxides, respectively.The method is illustrated by the synthesis of chiral epoxides, including insect pheromones.
