Mild metal-free syn-stereoselective ring opening of activated epoxides and aziridines with aryl borates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Mar 21:(11):1426-8. doi: 10.1039/b416517a. Epub 2005 Jan 21.

Abstract

A conceptually new, simple and practical method for the syn-nucleophilic displacement of aryl and vinyl epoxides and aryl aziridines with (substituted) phenols, using aryl borates as activating nucleophiles under neutral conditions, is reported.
