Highly regioselective ring opening of oxiranes with phenoxides in the presence of beta-cyclodextrin in water.
Highly regioselective ring opening of oxiranes to beta-hydroxy ethers with phenoxides has been achieved in impressive yields in the presence of beta-cyclodextrin as catalyst and water as solvent.
