Abstract
Acyclic alpha-hydroxyalkyl alpha,beta-unsaturated sulfoxides undergo oxidat ion at sulfur followed by a highly regio- and stereoselective epoxidation a t the electron deficient alkene by treatment with (BuOOH)-O-t-VO(acac)(2); this methodology allows for an expedient entry into unusual carbohydrate fr agments.
