Abstract

(1 R)-2-endo-Bromoacetyl-1, 7, 7-trimethylbicyclo [2.2. 1] heptan-2-ol (endo-2- bromoacetylisoborneol) 4 and its trimethylsilyl ether 3 are presented as efficient reagents for the asymmetric Darzens reaction. From the α, β-epoxy ketone adducts the chiral inductor camphor is removed, by treatment with ceric (IV) ammonium nitrate, to yield the corresponding epoxy acids which are isolated as their dicyclohexylammonium salts.
