26. Chamberlin and co-workers (ref 10a) have reported that 2-iodo-1,3- anti -diols are stereo- and regioselectively produced from 1,2-disubstituted allylic alcohols via an intermediacy of cyclic iodonium ions generated preferentially syn to the allylic hydroxyl group in the 1,3-allylic strain model, followed by their nucleophilic hydration at the sterically more accessible position. This observation suggested that dichlorination of our allylic alcohol substrate 5 would favor the production of undesired (2 S, 3 R)-pentachloride 21. Chamberlin, A. R.; Mulholland, R.

62. 1H NMR spectra.
63. 3P/hexachloroacetone similarly gave desired trichloride 6 in 74% yield. However, partly because side reactions occurred under this condition, the yields varied when the reactions were performed on a large scale.
64. In this case, dichloroethane was used as solvent because of the higher solubility of the reagents and substrate. Dichlorination of epoxide 12 in toluene, however, afforded trichloride 6 in a comparable yield (68%) to that in dichloroethane.
65. This material was readily prepared by silylating 5-hexen-1-ol with TBDPSCl in the presence of imidazole in DMF (95% yield).

67. The stereochemistry of β-alcohol 13a and α-alcohol 13b was determined by their transformation into the corresponding cis-and trans -epoxides, respectively. For details, see the Supporting Information.
68. 3) dichlorination protocols have nearly identical levels of efficiency and selectivity. However, we assume that there may be some differences in the Lewis acidities of the two reagent systems, which possibly arise from the chemical species generated in the reaction mixtures. Markó, I.

70. Compound 19 was possibly produced by the neighboring participation of the trichloroacetyl group followed by the elimination. Its stereochemistry at the 3 position has, however, yet to be determined.

72. We currently assume that the low energy gap observed between the two conformers a and b may arise from the relative instability of conformer a that suffers from steric interaction between the hydrogen atom at C3 position and the chlorine atom at C5. The interaction increases the relative energy of conformer a, leading to the proximity in the conformational energy gap of the two possible conformers.
73. In this case, however, the observed stereochemical outcome may possibly indicate an intermediacy of the coordination of a Lewis acidic reagent to the hydroxyl group, such as the trimethylsilylated manganese complex, (22) which prevents substrate 5 from forming a β-chloronium intermediate as in the case of substrate 14, eventually leading to (2 R, 3 S)-pentachloride 20 as the major product. We are currently making further efforts to elucidate the origin of this stereochemical preference.
