CHIRAL RECOGNITION IN THE REACTION OF THE ENOLATE DERIVED FROM [(ETA-5-C5H5)FE(CO)(PPH3)COCH2OCH2PH] WITH CIS-2,3-EPOXYBUTANE AND TRANS-2,3-EPOXYBUTANE - THE STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF CIS AND TRANS-BETA,GAMMA-DISUBSTITUTED-GAMMA-LACTONE
The reaction between the enolate derived from [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)(PPh3)CO CH2OCH2Ph] and cis- and trans-2,3-epoxybutane proceeds with a high degree of chiral recognition between the reagents (10:1) to give products which may be converted to β,γ-dimethyl-γ-lactones possessing trans- or cis- stereochemis...
