The regiochemical outcome of the ring opening of 1,2-epoxides through
chelation processes assisted by metal ions, was verified in the azidol
ysis of simple aliphatic cis and trans 2,3- and 3,4-epoxy esters and i
n the corresponding derivatives bearing an ether functionality (OBn) i
n an allylic relationship to the oxirane ring. The results indicate th
at the behavior of these epoxides is influenced both by the opening co
nditions (standard or metal-assisted) and the promoting metal salt [Li
ClO4 or Mg(ClO4)(2)].
