The first diastereospecific and enantioselective epoxidation of trans-2-aroyl-3-arylacrylonitriles by means of the commercially available diaryl L-prolinol/tert-butyl hydroperoxide system has been developed. These diversely functionalized epoxides were obtained in excellent yield (up to 99%), complete diastereoselectivity for the trans-isomer, and good enantioselectivity (up to 84% ee). Highly enantioenriched epoxides can be easily obtained after a single crystallization (ee > 90%).
通过商业可得的二芳基 L-脯氨醇/叔丁基过氧化氢体系,首次对反式-2-芳基-3-芳基丙烯腈进行了非对映选择性和对映选择性环氧化反应。这些官能化的环氧化物以优异的收率(高达 99%)、对反式异构体的完全非对映选择性和良好的对映选择性(高达 84%ee)得到。经过一次结晶后,可以很容易地得到高对映体过量的环氧化物(ee>90%)。
