Abstract

A versatile and simple method is reported for the synthesis of bicyclic epoxide and aziridine?fused heterocycles (up to 98% yield, up to 96?:?4 er or up to 15?:?1 dr), using a tandem Michael addition/Johnson?Corey?Chaykovsky annulation approach. A new chiral (2-bromoethyl)sulfonium reagent is described, based on an easily available chiral sulfide; it promotes or enhances stereoselectivity in the reaction.
