Dilithium Tetrachloromanganate an Effective Reagent for Regioselective Ring Opening of Epoxides with Grignard Reagents

Abstract

The epoxides were obtained from substituted phenols and epichlorohydrin by reported methods. The regioselective ring opening of epoxides were studied in different solvents by reaction with Grignard’s reagent in presence of dilithium tetrachloromanganate.
