Stereospecific intramolecular antarafacial epoxidation of a double bond via an early Pummerer reaction intermediate has been demonstrated. The intermediate is presumably generated via trifluoroacetylation of a sulfoxide precursor. Ionization of trifluoroacetate would formally generate a dipositive "sulfenium" equivalent. This species attacks an otherwise unactivated, proximal olefinic linkage in an antiperiplanar fashion, with trifluoroacetate serving as the nucleophile. Proposed mechanistic intermediates were characterized structurally (in several cases by crystallographic means) and shown to serve as precursors en route to the final antarafacial epoxides. The sense of the cyclization seems to be driven by principles inherent in Markovnikov's rule.
