摘要:
                                Terminal epoxides are hydrogenolyzed to give secondary alcohols with high regioselectivity using the ternary catalyst system of Cp*RuCl(cod)-2-(diphenyl-phosphino)ethylamine (1a)-KOH (CP* = eta(5)-C-5(CH3)(5), cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in 2-propanol under mild conditions.
