Abstract

Abstract The use of trialkylorganozincates and tetraalkylaluminates allows regioselective SN 2 nucleophilic opening of vinylic epoxides. The reaction occurs with an anti-substitution pattern and can be applied to a wide range of substrates. We also show that the solvent and the structure of the epoxide have an influence on the substitution products' ratio.(© Wiley- VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
