The epoxy-Ramberg-Baecklund reaction (ERBR) is outlined, in which α,β-epoxy sulfones are converted into a range of mono-, di- and tri-substituted allylic alcohols, on treatment with base. Modification of this method enabled the preparation of enantio-enriched allylic alcohols following the diastereoselective epoxidation of enantio-enriched vinyl sulfones that were accessed efficiently from the chiral pool. The scope, optimisation and limitations of the ERBR as a method for the preparation of allylic alcohols are discussed. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.
