Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The absolute configuration of the 2,3 -epoxy- 1 -hexanol produced in the mentioned reaction if diethyl (2S,3S) -tartrate were used instead of (2R,3R) is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

>

Sharpless epoxidation involves the oxidation of double bond between carbon atoms to form an epoxide.

>

This oxidation occurs only in allylic alcohol. This is an enantioselective oxidation, which means predominantly one enantiomer is formed.

>

Sharpless reagents are tert-butyl hydroperoxide, (CH3)3COOH; titanium (IV) iso-propoxide, Ti[OCH(CH3)2]4; and diethyl tartrate.
