a

Reaction conditions: Cyclobutanone 4b (0.05 mmol, 1.0 equiv) at 0 → 4 °C (ambient temperature) with [4b] = 0.10 M CHCl3.

b

Reported results are the average of two trials.

c

Determined by 1H NMR relative integrations.

d

Enantiomeric ratios were determined by CSP-HPLC analysis (Chiralpak IA, 210 nm). Absolute configuration was not determined.

e

Reaction performed with f-BuOOH (70% w/w aq. 1.5 equiv).

f

Reaction was carried out at −15 °C.

g

Yield in parentheses determined by 1H NMR internal standard (1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene).

h

Reaction was carried out at −25 °C.

Abbreviations: pThr, phosphothreonine; Bn, benzyl; Acpc, 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid; Aib, 2-aminoisobutryic acid; pPhSer, β-threo-phosphophenylserine; pSer, phosphoserine, Bz, benzoyl.
