Abstract
Useful chiral building blocks such as 1,2-diols can be obtained by the enantioselective ring opening of achiral epoxides with oxygen nucleophiles. The ring opening is carried out effectively (up to 94 % ee) with 4-methoxyphenol and catalytic amounts of gallium complexes. The novel complex GaSO 1 displays a particularly high catalytic activity.
