New methodology for the conversion of epoxides to alkenes
Wu, Feng-Ling,Ross, Benjamin P.,McGeary, Ross P.
experimental part, p. 1989 - 1998 (2010/06/15)
Epoxides have been transformed in good yields to alkenes by a process involving (i) ring-opening of the epoxide with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, (ii) oxidation of the derived ss-hydroxy thioethers to the corresponding sulfones, and (iii) thermal or base-promoted fragmentation of these sulfones to alkenes. The stereochemistry of the starting epoxide is transfer-red faithfully to the alkene product, because of the SN2 epoxide ring-opening reactions and the antiperiplanar SO2 elimination reaction of the ss- alkoxysulfinate intermediates. This methodology may form the basis of a new protecting group strategy for alkenes.

Zhou, Shengfeng,Chen, Huaxiang,Liao, Wensheng,Chen, Shu-Hui,Li, Ge,Ando, Ryoichi,Kuwajima, Isao
, p. 6341 - 6344 (2007/10/03)
We describe herein a stereo-controlled and practical synthesis of three key building blocks, namely Segment AB′, Segment D, and Segment E′ needed for the total synthesis of (-)-kazusamycin A.
Studies on the synthesis of DNA-damaging part of leinamycin: Regioselectivity in Ti(OiPr)4 mediated opening of hydroxy epoxides with carboxylic acids
Nahmany, Moshe,Melman, Artem
, p. 7481 - 7488 (2007/10/03)
The preparation of the key intermediate in the synthesis of the DNA damaging fragment of the anticancer antibiotic leinamycin starting from geraniol is described. The synthetic sequence involves the building of a quaternary asymmetric center through kinetic resolution through Sharpless epoxidation followed by the regioselective opening of the resultant enantiomerically pure hydroxyepoxide and intramolecular Wittig-Horner olefination.

, p. 1967 - 1969 (2007/10/03)
The synthesis of (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2-octene-1,8-diol (1), which was isolated from the hairpencils of male Danaus chrysippus (African Monarch), was investigated. The key step of the sequence involves asymmetric desymmetrization of the 1,3-propanediol 7 with
Tetracyanoethylene-hydrogen peroxide, a mild epoxidation system of olefins
Masaki,Miura,Mukai,Iwata,Oda,Itoh
, p. 686 - 688 (2007/10/03)
A reagent combination system, tetracyanoethylene-30% hydrogen peroxide, was found to epoxidize olefins efficiently in acetonitrile at room temperature in a stereospecific manner with retention of the configuration of the double bond.
Z-selective formation of trisubstituted α,β-unsaturated nitrile by the Horner-Emmons reaction
Takayanagi, Hisao
, p. 1581 - 1584 (2007/10/02)
Conditions which allow the Horner-Emmons reaction of phosphononitrile to proceed Z-selectively were clarified. The generality and usefulness of the procedure were demonstrated by an application to a stereoselective synthesis of plaunotol (9).

, p. 4025 - 4026 (2007/10/02)
The terminal double bond of acyclic isoprenoids was converted into chiral epoxide in high optical yield by using asymmetric reduction of α-ketol with baker's yeast.
