Abstract

The vicinal halohyrins are very useful synthetic intermediates and have found wide applications in organic transformations and in the synthesis of marine natural products. 1,2 The conventional reagents for epoxide ring opening to halohydrins are hydrogen halides and hypohalite−water. 3 However, these procedures are associated with the disadvantages of intolerance to acid-sensitive moieties and byproduct formation. 4 A variety of other reagents 5 such as ...
