Abstract

While S_N2 based desymmetrization of meso-epoxides has been extensively researched, the more general regioselective opening of cis-1,2 substituted epoxides via S_N2 mechanism remains elusive. This short review outlines, how this limitation could be overcome by parting with S_N2 and moving towards a radical-based mechanism. The development and refinement of the titanocene(III)-catalyzed regiodivergent epoxide opening (REO) is described.

1 Introduction to Asymmetric Catalysis

2 From Enantiodivergent to Regiodivergent Epoxide Opening

3 Regiodivergent Arylation of Epoxides

4 Conclusion

Key words

arylation - catalysis - diversity-oriented synthesis - epoxides - regiodivergent - titanocenes
