Abstract

Acid-catalysed reaction of D-camphorquinone with racemic 1,2-diols (eg 3-chloropropane-I ,2-diol) under kinetically controlled conditions yields a predominant diastereoisomeric acetal, that can be easily converted into an optically pure epoxide. ... (R)- and (S)-(Chloromethy1)oxirane ['epichlorohydrins' (la) and (lb), respectively] are valuable starting materials for the preparation of optically active compounds. Both have been prepared by ...
