Abstract

A new type of chiral sulfonium salts that are characterized by a bicyclic system has been designed and synthesized from α-amino acids. Their corresponding ylides, which were prepared by basic treatment of the sulfonium salts, reacted smoothly with a broad array of simple and chiral aldehydes to provide trans-epoxy amides in reasonable to very good yields and excellent stereoselectivities (>98%). The obtained epoxy amides were found to be useful as synthetic building blocks. Thus, they were reduced into their corresponding epoxy alcohols and subjected to oxirane-ring-opening reactions with different types of nucleophiles.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
