Reaction Steps

Racemic 4-methyl-5-oxiran-2-yl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one was resolved on a ChiralPak® AD-H column (5×25 cm) under SFC conditions on a Berger MGIII preparative SFC instrument. The racemate was diluted to 50 mg/ml in 1:1 DCM:MeOH. The separation was accomplished using 10% EtOH/CO2, flow rate 200 ml/min, 100 bar, 25° C. 500 ul Injections were spaced every 2.12 mins. The faster eluting (2R)-epoxide (I-26B) eluted at 5.2 min, and the slower eluting (2S)-epoxide (I-26A) eluted at 5.6 min.
