A novel route to epoxysorbicillinol as well as dimers of sorbicillin is reported. The synthesis is-in principle-amenable to enantioselectivity. The key step is an oxidative dearomatization to produce a stable and highly malleable p-quinol intermediate, which undergoes a highly diastereoselective epoxidation.
