Abstract
The preparatively important catalytic opening of epoxides to β-titanoxy radicals via single- electron transfer (SET) is described. These radicals can be reduced to alcohols or participate in CC bond-forming reactions. A key step in the catalytic cycle is the conceptually novel protonation of titanium-oxygen and-carbon bonds. Our method combines the advantages of radical reactions, eg, high functional group tolerance and stability of ...
