✦ Synopsis
Ring-opening of 3-aryl-2,3-epoxyamides 1 was achieved by using samarium diiodide and D 2 O, yielding 3-aryl-3-deuterio-2-hydroxyamides 2 with total regioselectivity. The starting compounds 1 were easily prepared by reaction of the corresponding lithium or potassium enolates of a-chloroamides with aldehydes or ketones. When the reaction was carried out in the presence of H 2 O instead of D 2 O, the corresponding 3-aryl-2-hydroxyamides were isolated. The treatment of enantiopure 3-aryl-2,3epoxyamides afforded optically active 3-aryl-2-hydroxyamides.
