Abstract

The mixt. of LiN(CHMe2)2 and KOCMe3 (LIDAKOR reagent) promotes smooth ring opening of oxiranes to afford allyl alcs. with good to excellent yields. Internal epoxyalkanes and large-sized epoxycycloalkanes give preferentially or exclusively (E)-alkenols. The regio- and stereochem. of the ring-opening reaction are essentially the consequence of syn-periplanar elimination mechanisms. [on SciFinder (R)]
