The reaction relies on an organoboron reagent to prime the epoxide for skeletal remodeling and a zinc salt to initiate the ...

Epoxides belong to a class of organic compounds called “cyclic ethers” that are characterized by a three-atom ring. They are readily available compounds found in medicinal and agrochemical agents, as ...

This image shows the epoxide-opening cyclic ether formation catalyzed by Lsd19. The disfavored 6-endo-tet reaction is highlighted in red. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

This module covers synthesis and reactivity of ethers and epoxides. Students will connect these to the larger sustainability goals of UNSDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, 9: Industry, Innovation, and ...
