30. 4 (60%) in THF. All compounds synthesized are racemic, although only one enantiomer is depicted (Figure 3).
31. (b) The epoxyketones 6-9 were obtained by a three-step sequence from the aldehydes I, n = 0, 1, 2, 3:
32. i) Grignard reaction with vinyl magnesium bromide,
33. ii) oxidation with Dess-Martin reagent,
34. and iii) epoxidation with mCPBA.
35. (c) The structure of epoxyketones 6-10, in which the oxiranic oxygen and the side chain is cis, is based on spectroscopic data and comparison with the epoxy compound described by K. Mori et al., whose structure was determined by X-ray. See: Mori, K.; Aki, S.; Kido, M. Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1993, 83. Equation Presented
