Asymmetric epoxidation with chiral sulfur ylids... [Pg.516]

A very different type of chemistry occurs when sulfur ylids add to carbonyl compounds. Epoxides are formed and recent progress with chiral sulfur ylids allows good asymmetric induction in this reaction. The easily prepared C2 symmetric sulfide 96 reacts with alkyl halides and then with aryl and alkyl aldehydes to give good yields of trans epoxides 97 with reasonable ees.19... [Pg.516]
