β-Substituted trans-styrene oxides are cleaved with thiolate anions highly regioselectively by attack at the α-carbon whereas the cis-isomers are cleaved by attack at the α- and β-carbons.Cysteine, in a suitably protected form, similarly cleaves β-substituted trans-styrene oxides, thus allowing the synthesis of a simple LTE model.
