Epoxidation of chiral camphor N-enoylpyrazolidinones with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane and urea hydrogen peroxide/acid anhydride: reversal of stereoselectivity.
J Org Chem. 2003; (25): 9816-8
Both diastereomeric isomers of epoxides with high optical purity are obtained when camphor N-methacryloylpyrazolidinone (1a) and N-tigloylpyrazolidinone (1b) are treated with a urea hydrogen peroxide/TFAA and methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane, respectively.
