Nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2,3-epoxy alcohols, easily prepared via Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation chemistry, offer access to a wide variety of enantiomerically pure compounds. In this communication, we describe the use of a Payne rearrangement to control regioselectivity in the ring-opening of a series of 2,3-epoxy alcohols with dimethylsulfoxonium methylide to yield diastereomerically and/or enantiomerically pure disubstituted tetrahydrofuran rings. The factors influencing the success and substitution pattern of the THF ring products are discussed, including steric, electronic, and solvent effects. Copyright
High-Enantioselective Synthesis of Pyrrolidine Derivatives as Chiral Building Blocks
Hirai, Yoshiro,Chintani, Masaru,Yamazaki, Takao,Momose, Takefumi

All four stereoisomers of a pyrrolidine derivative, which is useful as a versatile chiral building block for synthesis of several pyrrolizidine alkaloids, were prepared in high enantioselectivity by utilizing the Sharpless epoxidation of the intermediate
