Abstract

-The boron trifluoride catalyzed rearrangement of 2, 2-di-t-butyloxirane, involving competitive reactions of transient carbenium ions, could be selectively directed towards either 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4-hexamethyltetrahydrofuran or 2-t-butyl-2, 3-dimethyl-3-buten-1-ol. Hydride shift to afford 2, 2-di-t-butylacetaldehyde was only observed to a minor extent.
