Abstract
Lipase‐catalyzed transesterifications and biological reductions were used to obtain the (S)‐enantiomers of 3‐chloro‐1‐(1,3‐dithian‐2‐yl)‐2‐propanol and 1‐(1,3‐dithian‐2‐yl)‐3‐fluoro‐2‐propanol and their (R)‐acetates. (S)‐3‐Chloro‐1‐(1,3‐dithian‐2‐yl)‐2‐propanol and (R)‐3‐chloro‐1‐(1,3‐dithian‐2‐yl)‐2‐propyl acetate were converted into the respective enantiomers of 2‐(1,3‐dithian‐2‐ylmethyl)oxirane. During this work we also isolated a new gem‐disubstituted epoxide, 2‐(chloromethyl)‐2‐(1,3‐dithian‐2‐yl)oxirane. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
