Abstract

The catalytic modification of the Sharpless-epoxidation reaction was employed in a short EPC-synthesis of the title compound. The asymmetric epoxidation of the allylic alcohol (6) proceeded in 75 % yield and 94 % enantiomeric excess. In a 4 step sequence the epoxide (7) was transformed to (S)-3-hydroxy-3-mercaptomethylquinuclidine (11).
