Regioselective AlPO4–Al2O3 Promoted Ring-Opening of 2,3-Epoxy Esters

Abstract

Abstract Synthetic AlPO4–Al2O3 promotes regioselective ring-opening of 2,3-epoxy esters by some oxygen and sulphur nucleophiles. Ritter type ring-opening with acetonitrile allowed the regioselective introduction of the acetamido group.
