Abstract
Cyclopentanones 1, 4 and 7, as well as uloses 11, 14, 17, and 20, all possessing an oxygen atom in α‐position with respect to the carbonyl group, have been allowed to react with dimethylsulfonium and dimethyloxosulfonium methylides. It has been found that the nucleophilic attack can be directed by the neighboring axial oxygen substituent, which leads to unusual selectivity compared to normal nucleophilic attack. The isomeric epoxides resulting from sterically directed attack have been prepared in all cases either by reaction with bromomethyllithium or by using an olefination‐epoxidation procedure.
