โœฆ Synopsis


Under the influence of Lewis acidic boron trifluoride-diethyl etherate, epoxides are activated sufficiently to undergo rapid nucleophilic opening by ketone enolate ions at -78ยฐC, forming useful g-lactols.

Application of this protocol to n+3 ring expansion features one-flask, multicomponent, sequential reactions.
