Yx. Ding et J. Hu, The synthesis of vicinal halohydrin phosphates via highly regioselective ring opening of epoxides with dialkyl halophosphate, J CHEM S P1, 10, 2000, pp. 1651-1655
Various titanium(IV) reagents catalyze the ring opening of epoxides by dial
kyl halophosphates (added or formed in situ) under mild conditions to give
the corresponding vicinal halohydrin phosphates in good yields with high re
gioselectivity.
