J. Soulie et al., ACCESS TO UNSATURATED CHIRAL EPOXIDES .2. SYNTHESIS OF A COMPONENT OFTHE SEX-PHEROMONE OF PHRAGMATOBIA-FULIGINOSA, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(2), 1995, pp. 625-636
A general method for the synthesis of chiral cis-epoxides substituted
bearing a saturated chain and an unsaturated chain is described. This
method is used to synthesize both enantiomers of compound 1.
