Enantiomerically Pure cis- and trans-2-Substituted Cyclopropanols from Allylic Sulfones

Abstract

Enantiomerically pure cis- and trans-2-substituted cyclopropanols have been obtained from allylic sulfones derived from (R)-glyceraldehyde, in good yields.

Key words

cyclopropanols - sulfones - cyclization - synthesis
