SYNTHESIS OF 2-ALKYLTHIO-5-ACETYL-2-OXAZOLINES

The reaction of 2-acetyloxiranes with alkyl thiocyanates in the presence of Lewis acids (BF3, AlCl3) has given 2-alkylthio-5-acetyl-2-oxazolines (yields 40-60percent).It has been shown that the reaction of trans-2-acetyl-3-methyloxirane and of trans-2-acetyl-3-methyloxirane and of trans-2-acetyl-2,3-dimethyloxirane with alkyl thiocyanates takes place stereospecifically and leads to cis-2-alkylthio-5-acetyl-2-oxazolines.

FORMATION OF α,β-EPOXY SYSTEMS FROM β-PEROXY CARBON FREE RADICALS

The conversion of β-peroxy carbon free radicals to α,β-epoxides is a facile process of broad scope and may be a key step in the biosynthesis of clavulones.
