title: Ammonium ylides for the diastereoselective synthesis of glycidic amides.
abstract: A highly trans-selective protocol for the synthesis of glycidic amides was developed. This approach gave access to oxiranes by reacting stabilised ammonium ylides bearing an α-carbonyl group and aromatic aldehydes in moderate to good yields.
