R. Hauptfleisch et B. Franck, STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESES OF 1,24-DIHYDROXY SQUALENE 2,3-22,23-DIOXIDES BY DOUBLE SHARPLESS EPOXIDATION, Tetrahedron letters, 38(3), 1997, pp. 383-386
A few step synthesis of the (all-E) squalene diol 10 from squalene 4,
its double Sharpless epoxidation to the (-)-dihydroxy squalene 2,3;22,
23-dioxide 3a, its enantiomer 3b, and the formation of a tetradeutero
derivative 12 is described. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
