W. Adam et al., STEREOCHEMICALLY DEFINED CYCLOHEXANEDIOLS THROUGH THE REGIOSELECTIVE RING-OPENING OF SILYLATED EPOXY ALCOHOLS, Tetrahedron, 52(4), 1996, pp. 1231-1234
The nucleophilic ring-opening of the silylated epoxy alcohol 2 leads t
o highly functionalized building blocks of defined stereochemistry, wh
ereby the regioselectivity may be controlled through the proper choice
of the nucleophile and the reaction conditions.
