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 giv

✦ Synopsis
Reduction of a-benzyloxy acetylenic ketones with zinc borohydride afforded the erythro-acetylenic vicinal diols in 95% stereoselectivity, while reduction with K-selectride gave the isomeric threo-diols in 90% stereoselectivity.
Repetition of 1,3-chiral transfer reaction by palladium catalyzed allylationl), coupling reaction of organocuprate2), and [3,3]-or [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of allylic compounds3), as shown in scheme 1, offer a powerful method for construction of the vicinal carbon asymmetric centers.
