Descrição

http://apps.isiknowledge.com/full_record.do?product=UA&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=11&SID=X22NMCKHdF5lcLIJG6o&page=1&doc=1&colname=WOS Exocyclic (E,E)-cinnamylideneketones were oxidized by an excess of isolated dimethyldioxirane (DMDO, in acetone solution) at room temperature, providing diastereomeric mixtures of the α,β:γ,δ-diepoxides. In the case of derivatives bearing an ortho-nitrocinnamylidene moiety, α,β-monoepoxides were also isolated as minor products. The structures of all new compounds and the stereochemistry of the monoepoxides and diepoxide diastereomers were established by NMR studies.
