Regioselective synthesis of halohydrin esters from epoxides: reaction with acyl halides and rhodium-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction with alkyl halides and carbon monoxide
Regioselective synthesis of halohydrin esters was achieved by (1) the reaction of acylhalides with epoxides and (2) the rhodium-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction of alkyl halides, carbon monoxide, and epoxides.
