Highly alpha-Selective Hydrolysis of alpha,beta-Epoxyalcohols using Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride

[摘要]：We report a simple method for the highly regio- and stereoselective hydrolysis of alpha,beta-epoxyalcohols. Treatment of enantiopure epoxyalcohols derived from Sharpless epoxidation with TBAF/H2O resulted in exclusive ring opening at the normally disfavored alpha-position, providing access to arabino- or lyxo-configured triols with full preservation of stereochemical purity. The method was applied in syntheses of 5-deoxy-L-arabinose (26) and a family of bicyclic acetals based on the insect pheromone hydroxybrevicomin (4).
