Mild metal-free syn-stereoselective ring opening of activated epoxides and aziridines with aryl borates
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. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.
