title: Aerobic photooxidative cleavage of epoxides to carboxylic acids using magnesium bromide.
abstract: We developed an aerobic photooxidative cleavage of epoxides to carboxylic acids using a catalytic quantity of magnesium bromide and molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant, under photoirradiation with a high-pressure mercury lamp.
