The inventive subject matter relates to novel processes for making an epoxy alcohol from an aldehyde, comprising the steps of: (a) adding (i) an organozinc compound or (ii) divinylzinc compound and an diorganozinc compound to said aldehyde in the presence of a first catalyst to form an allylic alkoxide compound; and (b) epoxidizing said allylic alkoxide compound in the presence of an oxidant and a second catalyst.

A series of (±)-2,2-disubstituted oxiranes bearing an alkene or alkyne functional group were resolved by bacterial epoxide hydrolases with excellent selectivities. The presence of a carbon–carbon double or triple bond furnished a highly flexible system for substrate modification, which allowed the enantioselectivity to be tuned by rational substrate modification. Thus, a significant selectivity enhancement of more than a ten-fold increase of E-values was achieved by appropriate choice of the C–C multiple bond, i.e. by (i) choosing an alkene or alkyne moiety or by (ii) variation of the E/Z-configuration of olefinic substrates. The enantioenriched epoxides and vicinal diols thus obtained may be easily transformed into ω-functionalized building blocks containing a chiral fully substituted carbon atom by oxidative cleavage of the carbon–carbon multiple bond.
