Epoxy tert-alcohols have been prepared from (E)-enones in a two-step approach consisting of JuliáColonna asymmetric epoxidation followed by Grignard alkylation of the epoxyketone. On treatment with sub-stoichiometric amounts of Yb(OTf)3 these trans-epoxyalcohols underwent efficient stereoselective semi-pinacol rearrangement to afford anti-α-phenyl-β-hydroxy-ketones (aldols). Under the same conditions, spirocyclic epoxyalcohols derived from 1-tetralone and 1-benzosuberone undergo either ring contraction (via semi-pinacol rearrangement) or fragmentation. A mechanistic rationale is presented to explain the formation of the various products.Key words: JuliáColonna reaction, asymmetric epoxidation, epoxy tert-alcohols, semi-pinacol rearrangement.
