The synthesis of ±175 would be made particularly atom efficient if an oxidant such as dimethyldioxirane or hydrogen peroxide were used for the epoxidation. 128 3.1.4 Oxazoline synthesis The availability of only two of the three amines in near optical purity meant that the amide and aziridine methods (Scheme 3.9) are the remaining viable routes to the synthesis of enantiomerically pure diphenyl oxazolines. It is important to note that the amine syntheses above allow either enantiomer to be synthesised. The third method is still presented below, since it allows the synthesis of racemic diphenyl oxazoline as well as most of the other oxazolines studied in the previous chapter. 102
