Abstract
Abstract Trimethylsilyl ethers of allyl and homoallyl alcohols are epoxidized with t-butyldoxytrimethylsilane and a catalyst system consisting of vanadyl acetoacetate and tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphate. Stereoselectivities of the oxidation are compared with the epoxidation of allyl alcohols with t-BuOOH/V catalyst and with m-chloroperbenzoic acid.
