title: Radical-mediated opening of 2,3-epoxy alcohols using Cp2TiCl: stereoselective construction of quaternary chiral centers.
abstract: Radical-mediated opening of chiral 2,3-epoxy alcohols regioselectively at the 2-position using Cp2TiCl and trapping the intermediate radical with methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile led to the stereoselective formation of tetrasubstituted chiral centers.
