Oxidative functionalisation of SuperQuat enamides: Asymmetric synthesis of homochiral 1,2 diols

Homochiral (E)-enamides derived from (S)-4-phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-oxazolidin-2-one undergo highly diastereoselective epoxidation upon treatment with dimethyldioxirane (DMDO). Treatment with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) produces syn-(4S, 1′R,2′)-1′ -acyloxy-2′-hydroxy derivatives with high diastereos...
