title: Nonracemic 2-diazo-1-oxiranyl-ethanone, a versatile chiral epoxide educt in diazocarbonyl reactions
abstract: (S)-(-)-2-Diazo-1-oxiranyl-ethanone, prepared in two steps from (R)-(+)-glycidol, has been employed as an intermediate in several characteristic diazocarbonyl reactions to yield novel, nonracemic products including an epoxy quinoxaline and epoxy thiazoles and oxazoles.
