16. This unusual regioselectivity of epoxide opening was already reported for racemic 8: B. Alcaide, P. Areces, E. Borredon, C. Biurrun, J. P. Castells, J. Plumet, Heterocycles 1990, 31, 1997-2002. We found that the stereochemical course is strongly dependent on the nature of the methyl nucleophile. With methylmagnesium bromide, again regioisomer 9 is preferentially formed; however, the reaction proceeds with extensive racemization.
