✦ Synopsis

Reduction O 0220 Rapid, Highly Efficient and Stereoselective Deoxygenation of Epoxides by ZrCl4/NaI. -It is reported that ZrCl4/NaI is a safe and inexpensive reagent for chemoselective deoxygenation of various epoxides in excellent yield. The reaction proceeds with absolute stereospecificity. -(FIROUZABADI*, H.; IRANPOOR, N.;
