Abstract

Oxiranes reacted with aryl esters in the presence of base. The reactions of aryl carboxylates with alkyloxiranes afforded almost exclusively 1-alkyl-2-(aryloxy) ethyl carboxylates, whereas the reactions with aryloxiranes gave a mixture of 1-aryl-2-(aryloxy) ethyl carboxylates and 2-aryl-2-(aryloxy) ethyl carboxylates. Similar results were also obtained in the reaction with S-aryl thiocarboxylates and diaryl carbonates. The rate of reaction ...
