摘要

Epoxy mesylates 5 react with a variety of sodium alkoxides to produce the corresponding α- alkoxyketones in good yields. Evidence is presented for the involvement of transient allene oxides in these reactions. Enantiomerically enriched epoxy mesylates (2R, 3S)-5a-c were prepared using the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation reaction as the key step. These precursors rearrange to α-alkoxyketones without significant racemisation under modified ...
