  • Title: 2-Ene-1,4-diols by dimerization of terminal epoxides using hindered lithium amides.
    Author: Hodgson DM, Bray CD, Kindon ND.
    Journal: Org Lett; 2005 Jun 09; 7(12):2305-8. PubMed ID: 15932184.
    Abstract:
    [reaction: see text] Reaction of hindered lithium amides with readily available (enantiopure) terminal epoxides gives 2-ene-1,4-diols via carbenoid dimerization of the corresponding alpha-lithiated epoxides. D-Mannitol and D-iditol were synthesized using this method in three steps from (S)-tritylglycidyl ether.
