β¦ Synopsis
A study into the enantioselecfive epoxidation of a, [3-unsatma~ ketones utilising Cinchona alkaloidderived q,m_~nmT -mmonium ~-Wansfer catalysts beating m N-an~racenylmethyl function is presented. It has been found that the O-benzyl derivatives of these catalysts in conjunction with sodium hypcchloflto give high enantio-~ diastefeoselectivities in the epoxidation of a range of mbslrates RtCHfCHCOR 2, where RlffialkTl or aryl end R2=myl. In the cases where R2~tyl high en~tioselectivity has also been observed, however the rate of reaction is substantially reduced. Appfication of this process to the enantioselective synthesis of a range of trans.vt, [~-epoxy ketones (e.e. 71-90%) is presented.
