Abstract

Abstract Catalytic conversion of structurally different epoxides to the corresponding 1, 2- diacetoxy esters was carried out readily with phosphomolybdic acid alone or its supported on. The reactions were carried out under solvolytic or solvent free conditions within 5-15 min at room temperature. The product 1, 2-diacetates were obtained in high to excellent yields. Supporting of phosphomolybdic acid on showed the better catalytic activity than. ...
