Stereoselective epoxidation of 4-deoxypentenosides: a polarized-pi model.

ABSTRACT: The high facioselectivity in the epoxidation of 4-deoxypentenosides (4-DPs) by dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) correlates with a stereoelectronic bias in the 4-DPs' ground-state conformations, as elucidated by polarized-pi frontier molecular orbital (PPFMO) analysis.
