A new variant of the Ramberg-Backlund reaction is described, the epoxy-Ramberg-Backlund reaction (ERBR), in which α,β-epoxysulfones, on treatment with base, are converted into a range of mono-, di- and tri-substituted allylic alcohols. The scope and limitations of the ERBR are discussed.

1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) has been studied for the epoxidation of electron deficient alkenes with anhydrous t-BuOOH (TBHP) in dichloroethane. Steric demands are higher than that for alkaline H2O2 DBU is recognised as a remarkable base in these oxidations as other bases such as triethyl amine, diisopropylethyl amine, and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) are absolutely inefficient. DBU is effective in promoting the oxidation of α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones where most of conventional methods either fail or perform poor.
