Abstract
Epoxides undergo rapid ring-opening with lithium halides in [bmim] PF 6 or [bmim] BF 4 ionic liquids under mild and neutral conditions to afford the corresponding vic-halohydrins in high to quantitative yields. The epoxides show enhanced reactivity in ionic liquids thereby reducing reaction times and improving the yields significantly. The recovered ionic liquid can be reused in three to four subsequent runs with consistent activity.
