Abstract

Results Organyl-Substituted Epoxides. In order to investigate the acidifying character of various organic groups CY to the epoxide linkages (R" in eq 2), the compounds depicted in Scheme I were subjected to the action of the 1: l complex of tert-butyllithium and TMEDA at temperatures of-80 to-115 OC.' After a suitable interval the reaction
