These compounds can be formed by a modification of the Wittig reaction that uses sulfur ylides withketones and aldehydes.
These compounds can be formed by a modification of the Wittig reaction that uses sulfur ylides withketones and aldehydes. An enantioselective reaction that uses allylic alcohols in the presence of diethyltartarate and t-butyl hydroperoxide can be used to create these compounds. Those are theCorey-Chaykovsky and Sharpless reactions for these compounds. The aza variant of these compounds arecalled aziridines, in which the oxygen atom found in these compounds is replaced with nitrogen. Thesecompounds can be created by reacting MCPBA with an alkene in a reaction that contains the "butterflymechanism." That is the Prilezhaev reaction. For 10 points, name these cyclic ethers that are commonlyused in adhesives.
