The intramolecular addition reaction of metal enolates of ketones to oxiranes has been applied to a series of epoxy ketones derived from cyclohexene oxide. γ-Hydroxy ketones (γ-HKs, C-alkylation products) or hydroxy enol ethers (HEEs, O-alkylation products) are obtained, depending on the nature of the cyclic transition state in each case involved and the application of the Fürst-Plattner rule. The formation of HEEs by reaction of the same epoxy ketones under acid conditions is also described. In some cases, regioconvergent or chemoselective processes are conveniently obtained. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The intramolecular addition reaction of metal enolates of ketones to oxiranes has been applied to a series of epoxy ketones derived from cyclohexene oxide. γ-Hydroxy ketones (γ-HKs, C-alkylation products) or hydroxy enol ethers (HEEs, O-alkylation products) are obtained, depending on the nature of the cyclic transition state in each case involved and the application of the Fürst-Plattner rule. The formation of HEEs by reaction of the same epoxy ketones under acid conditions is also described. In some cases, regioconvergent or chemoselective processes are conveniently obtained. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.File in questo prodotto:
