Takano, Seiichi; Iwabuchi, Yoshiharu; Ogasawara, Kunio published the artcile< The Katsuki-Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of (E)-2,5-dihydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3-hexene>, Electric Literature of 617-55-0, the main research area is asym epoxidation tertiary allylic alc; Katsuki Sharpless epoxidation dihydroxydimethylhexene; absolute configuration epoxydihydroxydimethylhexane.
The first asym. epoxidation of a tertiary allylic alc. by the Katsuki-Sharpless reaction has been demonstrated using (E)-Me2C(OH)CH:CHCMe2OH as a tertiary allylic alc. substrate to afford optically active epoxide I. In 70% ee in an excellent chem. yield.
Tetrahedron Letters published new progress about Absolute configuration. 617-55-0 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C6H10O5, Electric Literature of 617-55-0.
