Abstract

Halohydrin esters can be used as building blocks for the synthesis of lipids 1 and biologically active compounds. 2 One of the common synthetic strategies for them is the conversion of 1,2-diols. 3 Another class of powerful synthetic strategies includes using epoxides as a starting material. For example, epoxides can be transformed into halohydrin esters via a two-step procedure in one-pot: (i) the ring-opening by halogen nucleophiles and (ii) the subsequent ...
