Abstract
Abstract A simple efficient, anti stereoselective, and highly regioselective method for the synthesis of β-hydroxy nitriles by the direct opening of 1, 2-epoxides with KCN in acetonitrile, in the presence of metal salts, is described. This new method appears to be competitive with the other methods previously reported.
