Reactions of epoxides with neighbouring nucleophiles

The syntheses and acid catalysed rearrangements of cis- and trans-3,4-epoxypentan-1-ols (28,22), 4,5-epoxyhexan-1-ols (30,24) and 5,6-epoxyheptan-1-ols (32,26) have been described. Isomerizations of these compounds gave cyclic ether derivatives as the major products. The 5,6-epoxyheptan-1-ols (32,26...
