Reduction of methyl 3-chloro-2-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate with various reducing agents gave syn- and anti-3-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoates 3, which underwent an efficient lipase-catalyzed resolution. All four diastereomers were subsequently converted to N-benzoyl-(2R,3S)-3-phenylisoserine methyl ester, C-13 side chain analogues of paclitaxel (Taxol).

Solid epoxides add gaseous HCl or KBr regioselectively and without melting, if the melting points are sufficiently high.Such additions proceed diastereoselectively with chiral epoxides.These gas/solid reactions are compared to similar transformations in solution.One observes interesting reaction sequences in the conversions of steroidal epoxides.Thus the opening of the epoxide ring may be followed by cationic rearrangements, or it occurs elimination od water, if it creates conjugation to a carbonyl group.
