P. Bovicelli et al., REGIOSELECTIVE OXIDATION OF AZIDODIOLS, BROMODIOLS AND TRIOL DERIVATIVES BY DIMETHYLDIOXIRANE, Tetrahedron, 54(47), 1998, pp. 14301-14314
Azidodiols, bromodiols and triol derivatives were regioselectively mon
ooxidised to the corresponding ketols using dimethyldioxirane. This re
gioselectivity is essentially determined by dipolar functionalities cl
ose to the potential reactive carbinol. These results make the reactiv
ity of polyols with dimethyldioxirane highly predictable. (C) 1998 Pub
