An easy and general sequenced elimination/reduction process by means of samarium diiodide, in the presence of D2O, provides an efficient method for synthesizing 2,3-dideuterioesters 2. The reaction can be also carried out in the presence of H2O instead of D2O, yielding the corresponding saturated esters 4. Other deuterated esters have been also obtained. A mechanism to explain this synthesis has been proposed.

Chemical equation presented High stereoselective β-elimination in 2,3-epoxyesters 1 was achieved using samarium diiodide, yielding α,β-unsaturated esters 2, in which the C=C bond is di-, tri- or tetrasubstituted. The starting compounds 1 are easily prepared by reaction of the corresponding lithium enolates of a-chloroesters with aldehydes or ketones at -78 °C. The influence of the reaction conditions and the structure of the starting compounds in the stereoselectivity of the β-elimination reaction is also discussed.

By investigation of the decarboxylation of 2,3-epoxy derivatives of acids with various structures it was shown that contrary to the existing theory about the essential opening of the β (C-O) bond in the oxirane ring there are many structural types of 2,3-epoxypropionic acids, in which opening of the α (C-O) bond in the oxirane ring occurs during decarboxylation.It was also shown that these two possible reaction paths can also arise during the decarboxylation of one 2,3-epoxypropionic acid.On the basis of the obtained data a general relationship is developed for theopening of the oxirane ring during the decarboxylation of 2,3-epoxypropionic acids with any structure, and this makes it possible to predict the structure of the obtained carbonyl compound.
