Erythro-α, β-epoxy alcohols were prepared in high stereoselectivity by zinc borohydride reduction of the corresponding α, β-epoxy ketones regardless of the substituents on the epoxide ring.
Preparation of Acetals of α-Epoxyketones and Their Chemoselective Hydrolysis Into α-Epoxyketones by Acidic Moist Silica Gel

Sulfur ylides react with monoacetals of α-dicarbonyl compounds to give the expected epoxyacetals in satisfactory to figh yields.These lead to α-epoxyketones by chemoselective hydrolysis by acidic moist silica gel.
