Abstract

The reduction of an epoxide to a saturated alcohol is a useful transformation in organic synthesis, and many methods have been developed which accomplish this conversion. l Of these, catalytic hydrogenolysis ranks among the simplest and has been utilized extensively in the past for the reduction of a variety of oxirane sub-More recently, several reagent combinations have been discovered which effect catalytic hydrogenolysis under mild ...
