Abstract

A reaction of epoxy alcohols (anti and/or syn isomers) ­derived from (E)-TMS-CH=CHCH(OH)R with TMS-C≡CLi in THF/HMPA s­tereoselectively afforded (E)-TMS-C≡C-CH=CHCH(OH)R. The (E) stereo­chemistry was independent of the anti/syn stereochemistry, but the syn isomers showed higher reactivity than the anti isomers. The reaction was applied to the synthesis of (18R)- and (18S)-HEPE.
