6. Isolation of the alcohol 4 resulting from pathway c circumvents the potential problem of loss of optical purity due to poor regioselectivity. Advantage has been taken of this fact in more than one synthesis involving optically active epichlorohydrin. (a) Yo, E.; Nakagawa, K.; Hoshino, Y. Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1981, 29, 2157.

All commercial reagents were used as received unless otherwise noted. (±)-Glycidol (Aldrich) was distilled under reduced pressure and stored at -20 °C. (2R)-and (2S)-glycidol were prepared as previously described.2 Copper(I) iodide (99.999%) was used as received from Cerac.
