Abstract
Chiral 1,2-epoxy-3-alkanol tosylates were successfully synthesized from alk ynols in three steps using the Sharpless AD reaction as a key step in good yields. Two chiral insect pheromone epoxides were smoothly obtained from th e corresponding key intermediate. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig;ht s reserved.
