Abstract
A highly diastereoselective organocatalytic synthesis of unique functionalised vinyl epoxides, displaying a Morita-Baylis-Hillman backbone, has been developed by means of an user friendly sulfonium ylide epoxidation of aldehydes from a readily available alpha-(bromomethyl)acrylamide derivative. The first result in the asymmetric version is discussed.
