Intramolecular cyclopropanation of epichlorohydrin-derived unsaturated chlorohydrins

Concise stereoselective syntheses of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-ols and a bicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-2-ol are achieved via regioselective ring-opening of epichlorohydrin with allylic and homoallylic Grignard reagents, followed by lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide-induced intramolecular cyclopropanation of the resulting unsaturated chlorohydrins.

A novel gallium/samarium-mediated coupling of epoxides with allyl halides in aqueous media and synthesis of homoallylic alcohols

A mild and efficient protocol for the coupling of various substituted epoxides 1 with allylgallium reagent generated in situ in a Bu 4NBr-DMF-H2O system have been developed. The coupling is also found to be equally effective when samarium is used in lieu of gallium and the corresponding homoallylic alcohols 2 were obtained in almost comparable yields. Copyright

An easy procedure for the highly regioselective conversion of epoxides to halohydrins

Several epoxides and epoxy alcohols have been opened to the corresponding halohydrins by lithium halides with Amberlyst in CH3CN at room temperature: the reaction proceeds in quantitative yields with high degree of regioselectivity.
