Ozone epimerization?

ttso - 30-3-2011 at 02:28


Hello everyone, i've done the "Ozone" reaction,let double bond into aldehyde.

I found that it may be two epimers.

Have anybody heard about "Ozone epimerization"??

Does it exist?

If it was ture... Could i suppress that?

Thanks.

Sincerely.

Please open threads without references, and/or with vague or unanswerable questions only in the Beginnings section.

PS: Aldehydes with stereogenic alpha carbons easily epimerize with or without ozone, so unless you explain what you are asking about, there is not much to be discussed here.
