title: Borinic Acid Catalyzed, Regioselective Chloroacylations and Chlorosulfonylations of 2,3-Epoxy Alcohols.
abstract: In the presence of a borinic acid derived catalyst, 2,3-epoxy alcohols undergo couplings with acyl and sulfonyl chlorides. This transformation directly generates O-acylated or O-sulfonylated chlorohydrin diols, with significant levels of regioselectivity for both the ring-opening and O-functionalization steps.
