In accordance with the present invention, a method for the interconvertion of the enantiomers of acyclic 1,2-dihydroxy-3-alkenes or for converting either enantiomer of acylic 1,2-dihydroxy-3-alkenes to the corresponding antipodal 1-hydroxy-2-alkoxy-3-alkene compounds has been discovered, comprising reacting in an acidic reaction media either enantiomer of an acylic vinyl epoxide (which can be derived from the corresponding acyclic 1,2-dihydroxy-3-alkene) with water, alcohol, or a mixture thereof. When substantially optically pure acyclic vinyl epoxide compounds are employed in the inventive method, the interconverted acyclic 1,2-dihydroxy-3-alkene or 1-hydroxy-2-alkoxy-3-alkene compound products are also substantially optically pure.
根据本发明,发现了一种用于互变无环1,2-双羟基-3-烯烃对映体或将无环1,2-双羟基-3-烯烃的任一对映体转化为相应的对映异构体1-羟基-2-烷氧基-3-烯烃化合物的方法,包括在酸性反应介质中反应无环乙烯环氧化物的任一对映体(可以由相应的无环1,2-双羟基-3-烯烃衍生)与水、醇或其混合物。当使用基本上光学纯的无环乙烯环氧化合物进行本发明的方法时,互变的无环1,2-双羟基-3-烯烃或1-羟基-2-烷氧基-3-烯烃化合物产物也基本上是光学纯的。
