Abstract
Radical couplings of epoxides and nitriles mediated by Cp2TiCl provide a diastereoselective route to the synthesis of β-hydroxyketones. The conditions of this “aldol- like” reaction are mild enough to avoid the dehydration of the β-hydroxyketone. The scope of the coupling reaction with functionalized and tetrasubstituted epoxides has been studied. The radical character of the coupling reactions is demonstrated.
