Preparation and Reactions of Ethyl ( R,R )‐ and ( S,S )‐3‐Trifluoromethyloxirane‐2‐carboxylate, a Versatile, Easily Accessible CF 3 ‐Containing Building Block for Synthesis A facile three‐step route has been elaborated leading from 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐3‐oxobutanoate to the trifluoro glycidic ester 1 mentioned in the title (0.1‐mole scale). Reactions with azide (→ 4, 5 ) and with organometallic compounds such as cuprates (→ 3, 6 ), lithium (→ 7, 8 ), and magnesium derivatives (→ 9–11 ) furnish novel enantiomerically pure trifluoromethyl‐substituted carboxylic esters, ketones, diols, and epoxy alcohols. The latter ones undergo selective isomerizations by Payne rearrangement ( 11 → 12 ) in aqueous NaOH/acetone or tert‐butyl alcohol.
