Abstract
The epoxidation of allylic hydroperoxides 2a–h by dimethyldioxirane afforded the epoxy hydroperoxides 3a–h in very good yields. On the other hand, only the substrates 2a, b and 2d–f can be converted into the corresponding epoxy hydroperoxides by peroxy acids in reasonable to good yields. The peroxy acid and dimethyldioxirane epoxidations of allylic hydroperoxides proceed, in contrast to those of the allylic alcohols, in low but opposite diastereoselectivity. The configuration of diastereomeric epoxy hydroperoxides were determined by NMR‐NOE experiments and chemical correlation.
