title: Stereospecific synthesis of optically active phenylpropylene oxides.
abstract: The stereospecific lithiation of diastereomeric phenylpropylene oxides has been studied as well as the trapping reaction with electrophiles. The reduction of the cis-alpha-benzoylpropylene oxide to give prevalently the anti-epoxy alcohol has been investigated as well.
