Abstract

Abstract Efficient synthesis of protected and unprotected chlorohydrins has been achieved by ring opening of epoxides with acetyl/benzoyl chloride and TMSCl using a catalytic amount of ZnO as a reusable catalyst. The applicability of ZnO is further extended by performing the cleavage of the natural product 5, 6-epoxysitosterol with acetyl chloride.© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
