2,3-Epoxyalcohols react with paraformaldehyde and either cesium carbonate or potassium carbonate/phase-transfer catalyst in polar, aprotic solvents to give excellent yields of 4-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-1,3-dioxolanes, with inversion at C-2. Carbonates and carbamates of 2,3-epoxyalcohols undergo cyclisation
