C. Sarangi et al., AN EFFICIENT NUCLEOPHILIC CLEAVAGE OF OXIRANES TO 1,2-AZIDO ALCOHOLS, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (10), 1997, pp. 378-379
Regioselective ring opening of oxiranes has been induced by the SnCl2
. 2H(2)O-Mg-THF/NaN3-H2O system to give the corresponding 1,2-azido al
cohols in good yields.
