The reaction of the cis-3-arylglycidic esters 2 and 10 with thiophenols (3) has been investigated.The reactivity and stereoselectivity of the oxirane ring-opening of these cis-glycidic esters were lower than those of the trans-analogues (1 and 9).These tendencies were more apparent in the 4-MeO derivative (2).On the other hand, the tin-catalyzed reaction of 2 with 3a was highly stereospecific and afforded the cis-opening products (5a).Keywords - cis-3-arylglycidic ester; thiophenol; oxirane ring-opening; tin catalyst; stereoselectivity

In the reaction of 2-nitrothiophenol (2) with trans-3-phenylglycidic esters carrying various substituents on the benzene ring, both reactivity and stereoselectivity of the oxirane ring-opening of the glycidates were markedly influenced by the electronic nature of the substituents.The presence of electron-donating groups was favourable for both reactivity and the preferential formation of cis-opening products, while the reverse was true for electron-withdrawing groups.As a result of our investigation on the catalytic effect of various Lewis acids in the reaction of the 4-methoxy derivative (1) with (2), tin compounds were found to be effective catalysts for cis-opening and readily produced the threo-nitro ester (3a), a key intermediate for the synthesis of diltiazem (5).Isolation of the crystalline complex (adduct A) from the reaction of (2) with SnCl4 and its efficient catalytic activity similar to that of SnCl4 suggest that the transition state involves co-ordination of tin derivatives both with (2) and the epoxy oxygen of (1) to cause highly specific cis-opening.
