Chiral epoxides by desymmetrizing deprotonation of meso-epoxides.

Simple meso-epoxides can be asymmetrically functionalized: Ligand-assisted direct hydrogen-lithium exchange allows the generation of destabilized oxiranyl lithium species and their subsequent trapping by a wide array of electrophiles (see scheme; E = group formed by addition of electrophile). When c...
