The bromolactones (5) stereoselectively produced by the asymmetric bromolactonisation of (S)-N-(α,β-unsaturated)acylprolines (3), were elaborated to highly optically active 2(R),3(S)-epoxyaldehydes (8) (84-98percent ee) by successive epoxide formation and reductive cleavage of the proline moiety.The overall process constitutes a highly efficient asymmetric synthesis of 8 from α,β-unsaturated acids (1).
