In order to study the effect of a remote polar functionality on the regiochemistry of the ring opening of aliphatic epoxides, the synthesis and some nucleophilic additions (methanolysis, azidolysis, and aminolysis) of suitable 2,3-epoxy-1-alkanol derivatives (epoxides trans-1a-d and cis-2) were carried out. The C-3 selectivity commonly observed when nonchelating ring opening conditions are used is lower than when the epoxides are allowed to react in the presence of metal ions (Li+, Mg2+, Zn2+) due to the probable intervention of bidentate-chelated intermediates in the latter case, and in some instances an almost complete C-3 regioselection is obtained. Under identical conditions involving chelation control, trans epoxide la shows higher C-3 selectivity than cis isomer 2. A free hydroxyl functionality is not necessary in order to observe chelation-controlled regioselectivity in the epoxides that we examined.

The regiochemical behavior of a series of aliphatic open chain epoxides bearing a heterofunctionality in an allylic or homoallylic relationship has been examined in the opening reaction with MeOH under both condensed and gas phase operating conditions. The results indicate that the proton (actually D+) possesses in the gas phase intrinsic chelating properties which are even superior than those of Li (+) in the condensed phase.
