Abstract
An attractive direct route to epoxy diols 2 relies on the Ti-catalyzed epoxidation of enediols 1 with 2-hydroperoxy-2-phenylpropan-l-ol. Under conventional Sharpless epoxidation conditions (bidentate tBuOOH) diols 1 react very sluggishly; however, with the new tridentate oxygen donor these same diols undergo smooth reaction to give products 2 in high diastereoselectivity and without the use of protecting groups.
