Ar. Khan et al., ASYMMETRIC INDUCTION IN THE EPOXIDATION OF 3-O-ALLYL AND 5-O-ALLYL GLYCOFURANOSES WITH MCPBA, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 35(5), 1996, pp. 405-408
Diastereoselective epoxidation of 3- and -allyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-a
lpha-D-glycofuranoses (2, 6, 10, and 14) with mCPBA has been reported.
Asymmetric induction in the resulting products varies (40 to 100%) wi
th the position and configuration of allyloxy group in sugars.
