A practical method for the synthesis of optically active aromatic epoxides has been developed via the formation of optically active α-chlorinated alcohols and intramolecular etherification. Optically active alcohols with up to 99% ee can be obtained from the asymmetric reduction of aromatic ketones with a substrate/catalyst ratio of 1000–5000 using a formic acid/triethylamine mixture containing a well-defined
通过形成光学活性的α-氯化醇和分子内醚化,已经开发了一种合成光学活性的芳族环氧化物的实用方法。使用含有明确定义的手性Rh络合物Cp * RhCl [([R, [R)-Tsdpen]。由于二胺基Cp * Rh(III)氢化物配合物的配位饱和特性,用手性Rh催化剂不对称还原α-氯化芳族酮的特征是快速且羰基选择性转化。还原的结果受酮底物的结构以及氢源(如甲酸或2-丙醇)的影响很大。无需特殊纯化即可在该反应中使用市售的试剂和溶剂。一锅法或两锅法的这种环氧化物合成方法是实用的,对于从α-氯代酮大规模生产旋光性苯乙烯氧化物特别有用。
