Abstract

A newly-devised Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reagents, such as diisobutylacetoxyalanes and diisobutylmethanesulfonylalanes, achieved a clean conversion of unsymmetrical epoxides to the corresponding less substituted alcohols. This review covers the recent developments for such a regiospecific ring-opening reaction of epoxides.
