Cyclization of α,δ-Dihydroxyepoxide Derivatives. Stereochemical Studies

Abstract

The influence of different protecting groups in the cyclization of highly substituted α,δ-dihydroxyepoxides has been studied. It is possible to control the opening or the cyclization of the epoxide depending on the protecting group used.
