Abstract

Novel fluorinated α-epoxycyclohexanes were synthesized in up to 96% yields by epoxidation of the Diels–Alder adducts of β-fluoro-β-nitrostyrenes and 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene. The epoxidation with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid and subsequent hydrolysis into diols were found to proceed in a highly stereoselective manner.
