A new approach to the synthesis of chiral vinyl carbinols from 2,3-epoxy alcohols
摘要:
The regioselective opening with benzoic acid of 2,3-epoxy alcohols obtained from the asymmetric epoxidation of 2,3-allylic alcohols, and deoxygenation of the resulting diol benzoates provides an effective, general and simple method to convert chiral 2,3-epoxy alcohols, into vinyl carbinols without the loss of any optical purity.
Ruthenium-Catalyzed Tandem Olefin Metathesis−Oxidations
摘要:
The utility of Grubbs' 2nd generation metathesis catalyst has been expanded by the development of two tandem olefin metathesis/oxidation protocols. These ruthenium-catalyzed processes provide cis-diols or r-hydroxy ketones from simple olefinic starting materials.
