✦ Synopsis

Oxiranes and aziridines efficiently undergo ring opening with bismuth nitrate at room temperature to furnish the corresponding b-(nitrooxy)-substituted alcohols and amines respectively. The conversions are highly regio-and stereoselective and afford the nitrooxy-compounds in excellent yields within a short period of time.
