Epoxide Formation by Indirect Electroreductive Coupling between Aldehydes or Ketones and Activated gem-Dichloro Compounds

Epoxides are prepared by indirect electroreductive coupling of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones) and activated gem-dichloro compounds. This process is more efficient with aryl ketones than with aryl aldehydes. Though yields are only moderate, this

Enantioselective synthesis of (thiolan-2-yl)diphenylmethanol and its application in asymmetric, catalytic sulfur ylide-mediated epoxidation

This work describes an expeditious and efficient preparation of enantiopure (thiolan-2-yl)diphenylmethanol (2) featuring a double nucleophilic substitution and Shi epoxidation as key steps. One of the applications of its benzyl ether derivative to asymmetric sulfur ylide-mediated epoxidation with up to 92% ee (14 examples) was also demonstrated herein.
