Good nucleophiles also open epoxidesII. Reductiona. NaBH4b. LiAlH4III. Oxidationa. Chromic acid (H2CrO4)b. Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC)c. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4)IV. OrganolithiumsCurrent LectureI. Reactions with Epoxidesa. H+ expoxide opening is streospecificb. Good nucleophiles also open epoxidesi. Any good nucleophile worksii. Stereospecific reactioniii. Example:1. Nucleophile attacks least substituted side with good nucleophiles2. Nucleophile attacks more substituted side when acid catalyzedII. Reduction: increase in hydrogen or decrease in oxygen contenta. NaBH4 (sodium borohydride): weaker reducing agent, H- sourceb. LiAlH4 (lithium aluminum hydride): stronger reducing agent, H- source III. Oxidation: increase in oxygen or decrease in hydrogen contenta. Chromic acid (H2CrO4): strong oxidantb. Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC): mild oxidantc. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4): strong oxidantIV. Organolithiums: good nucleophiles that attack carbonyls and
