Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate catalyzed ring-opening reaction of epoxides with alcohols at room temperature.
[reaction: see text] Efficient ring opening of different epoxides by reaction with representative alcohols is presented. These processes were carried out at room temperature and rely on the usefulness of commercial copper tetrafluoroborate as catalyst.
