Catalytic enantioselective epoxidation of homoallylic alcohols by chiral zirconium complexes

(Matrix presented) Catalytic enantioselective epoxidation of homoallylic alcohols using Zr(Ot-Bu)4 and tartrate ester (or tartramide) has been developed. In the Zr(Ot-Bu)4/diisopropyl tartrate-catalyzed epoxidation, the reverse of the enantiofacial preference was observed, depending on the Zr/ligand ratios of 1:1 or 1:2.

A FACILE CHEMO AND REGIOSELECTIVE REDUCTIVE OPENING OF 1,2 EPOXIDES VIA FREE RADICAL REACTION

A free radical reaction has been applied to several 1,2 epoxides; the regio and chemoselective reduction of the epoxy ring to afford secondary alcohols occours, in presence of NaI and nBu3SnH in DME at 80 deg C, in rather good yield.
