✦ Synopsis
Erythro-a, B-epoxy alcohols were prepared in high stereoselectivity by zinc borohydride reduction of the corresponding a, B-epoxy ketones regardless of the substituents on the epoxide ring. Epoxidation of the ally1 alcohols (L) with tert-butyl hydroperoxide catalyzed by VO(acac)2 was reported to give the corresponding erythro-a, B-epoxy alcohols (a, a useful synthon for the syntheses of polyoxo macrolide antibiotics, in high stereoselectivity.' The same erythroa, D-epoxy alcohols (3 can also be obtained by NaBH4 reduction of the corresponding a, B-epoxy
