title: Efficient synthetic method for the preparation of allyl- and propargyl-epoxides by allylation and propargylation of α-haloketones with organozinc reagents.
abstract: A simple, efficient, and non-metal catalyzed synthetic method for the preparation of substituted allyl- and propargyl-epoxides by allylation and propargylation of α-halo ketones with organozinc reagents in mild conditions is reported in this paper. The present method complements the existing synthetic methods due to some advantageous properties of the organozinc reagents such as availability, selectivity, operational simplicity and low toxicity.
