Effect of molecular structure on the rearrangements of some ethylene oxides

The BF₃:etherate catalysed reactions of a series of ethylene oxides contained in a 4-tert-butylcyclohexane system have been examined. Rearrangements of the epoxides to give carbonyl products have been explained in terms of discrete carbonium ion intermediates. The 4-tert-butylcyclohexanes (7,8) giv...
