Absolute configurations of enantiomeric methylenecyclopropanecarbinols obtained by reaction of (R)- and (S)-epichlorohydrin 5 with methylenetriphenylphosphorane or resolution of the corresponding oxaphospholane 6 via a salt with L-(+)-tartaric acid and subsequent Wittig transformation with formaldehyde were revised. The (-)-oxaphospholane 6 has the S,S and (-)-(methylenecyclopropyl)carbinol (4) the R configuration. The configurations of (+)-6 and (+)-4 are then R,R and S, respectively. These assignments are in accord with an initial attack of phosphorane at the oxirane ring of epichlorohydrin. An improved preparation of key enantiomeric intermediates (R)-1a and (S)-1a, important for synthesis of antiviral purine methylenecyclopropane analogues of nucleosides, is also described.
