Abstract

The synthesis and reactions of diastereomeric epoxides cis-1 and trans-2 with heteronucleophiles were carried out in order to probe the effect of remote polar functionality on the regioselectivity of nucleophilic addition to the epoxide ring. The reaction of cis- epoxide 1 with T ic 4 in CH2C12 gave exclusively the chlorohydrin 7, whereas the regioisomeric chlorohydrin 6 was obtained as the main product from the reaction of 1 with ...
