%X (2&#8242;R)-1,5-Dimethoxy-2(2&#8242;-methyloxiran-2&#8242;-ylmethyl) anthraquinone (8), an intermediate for the synthesis of fridamycin E, has been prepared enantioselectively via the diol (15). The diol (15) was prepared in high yield by asymmetric cis-hydroxylation of the alkene (11). The analogous diol (22), a vineomycinone B2 precursor, was also prepared.
