Abstract
An interesting transformation during the oxidation of 3, 4-epoxy alcohols 1a–d, derived from the corresponding homoallylic alcohols, led to the formation of 4-hydroxy-2, 3-unsaturated carbonyls 2a–d in very good yields. One of these products 2c was transformed into the functionalised carboxylic acid 5, an advanced stage intermediate from which the total synthesis of macrosphelide A has been reported.
