Graphite oxide: a simple and efficient solid acid catalyst for the ring-opening of epoxides by alcohols

A simple, efficient, and general procedure for the ring-opening of epoxides with various alcohols to give the corresponding β-alkoxy alcohols using graphite oxide (GO) as the catalyst under very mild reaction conditions is described. [Display omitted] A simple, efficient, and general procedure for t...

Description
Summary:A simple, efficient, and general procedure for the ring-opening of epoxides with various alcohols to give the corresponding β-alkoxy alcohols using graphite oxide (GO) as the catalyst under very mild reaction conditions is described. [Display omitted] A simple, efficient, and general procedure for the ring-opening of epoxides with various alcohols to give the corresponding β-alkoxy alcohols using graphite oxide (GO) as the catalyst, under very mild reaction conditions is described. The method proceeds in good to excellent yields and in short reaction times at room temperature under metal-free conditions.
