Separation of [Sp]-3'-O-(5'-dimethoxytritylthymidyl)-5'-O-(3'camphanoyl thymidyl)-O-methyl phosphite

Abstract:
First isolation of diastereoisomerically enriched (d.p. 95%) [Sp]-3'-O-(5'-dimethoxytrityl tjymidyl)-5'-O-(3'-camphanoyl thymidyl)-O-methyl phosphite (1) allowed to assign, via sulfuration and deprotection, its absolute configuration as Sp. Its reactions with methyl iodide, dimethoxytrityl chloride, or water, respectively, allowed to confirm correctness of assignment of absolute configuration in diastereisomers of TPMeT, and to assign absolute configuration in corresponding diastereoisomers of TPDMTT and TPHT.

Preparation and Reactions of Sulfides
5.9K
Sulfides are the sulfur analog of ethers, just as thiols are the sulfur analog of alcohol. Like ethers, sulfides also consist of two hydrocarbon groups bonded to the central sulfur atom. Depending upon the type of groups present, sulfides can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical sulfides can be prepared via an SN2 reaction between 2 equivalents of an alkyl halide and one equivalent of sodium sulfide.

Preparation of Epoxides

Overview
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
