Abstract

抄録 When tributylstannyl phenylselenolate (Bu< SUB> 3 SnSePh) was allowed to react with epoxides in the presence of BF< SUB> 3· OEt< SUB> 2 as a Lewis acid, the ring opening reaction of epoxides proceeded with complete regioselectivity to afford the β-hydroxy phenylselenides in moderate to good yields.
