39. 3 in the presence of 1.0 M equiv of benzyltriethylammonium chloride over epoxide 1 in DMSO for 20 h at room temperature. Benzyltriethylammonium chloride was found to promote the oxidation of disubstituted aromatic epoxides and diols to corresponding aldehydes: Sayama, S. Unpublished results.
40. 3 in the presence of 1,3-propanediol, accompanied by hydrobenzoin (60%). On the contrary, trans-4-chlorostilbene oxide was converted to 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxane 4a (81%) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dioxane (81%) under the same reaction conditions. Consequently, trans-epoxides were more smoothly oxidized and converted to the corresponding 1,3-dioxanes by this method than cis-epoxides.
