摘要

Summary O\ Terminal epoxides of the type RCH-CH 2 have been selectively converted into methyl ketones by various catalysts. Some lanthanide derivatives, Mn12, and C02 (CO) 8 gave the best results. The rearrangement of internal epoxides into ketones is much slower, allowing specific transformation of terminal epoxides. The scope of the reaction and tentative mechanisms are discussed.
