Enantioselective epoxidation of tertiary allylic alcohols by chiral dihydroperoxides

gem-Dihydroperoxides were successfully used for the enantioselective epoxidation of tertiary and primary allylic alcohols. Epoxides derived from tertiary alcohols were obtained in yields up to 71% with ee's up to 52%.

Reaktionen des (+)-Thujons und (-)-Isothujons mit Formaldehyd

(+)-Thujone and (-)-isothujone react with formaldehyde to give 4β-(hydroxymethyl)thujone (1) and the 2-methylene derivatives 6 and 7.Oxidation of 1 gives thujone-4β-carboxylic acid (2) which decarboxylates to (+)-thujone. 1 is reduced to the isomeric 4β-(hydroxymethyl)- (3a, 3b) and 4-methylthujanols (4a, 4b). 3-Methylthujanol is oxidized to 4-methylthujone (5).
