[reaction: see text] Lewis acid-catalyzed opening of oxetanes by hydrogen peroxide proceeds regioselectively and with good to moderate stereoselectivity to furnish enantiomerically enriched 3-hydroperoxyalkanols. The corresponding opening using alkyl hydroperoxides furnishes 3-peroxyalkanols. The hydroperoxyalkanols are easily converted into enantiomerically enriched 1,2,4-trioxepanes, building blocks for antimalarials.
[反应:见正文] 路易斯酸催化下,过氧化氢使氧杂环丁烷开环反应具有区域选择性,且立体选择性良好至中等,可得到对映体富集的3-氢过氧链烷醇。使用烷基氢过氧化物进行相应的开环反应可得到3-过氧链烷醇。氢过氧链烷醇可轻松转化为对映体富集的1,2,4-三氧杂环庚烷,这是抗疟药物的结构单元。
