β¦ Synopsis
Stereospecific ring openings of optically active 2,3epoxy alcohols were performed by the reaction of 1, 3,5, and 7 with curbon disulfide and sodium hydride to give the five-membered xanthates 2, 4, 6, and 8. Both enantiomers of 2-mercapto-l,3-diol triacetates, 11 and 14, were derived from 4 and 6, respectively. The ring opening reaction proceeded at -78Β°C to -3O"C, and the yields were around 80%. However, at a higher temperalure between 0Β°C to room temperature, a complicated reaction took place and led to the formation of two isomers o f the cyclic thiol carbonates 15 and 16 from 1 or 5. These processes were also stereospecific, and mechanisms have been proposed. I n the case of the 3,4-epoxy alcohol 20, the epoxide ring opening gave the six-membered xanthate 21 stereospecifically.
