Abstract
The mixture of lithium diisopropylamide and potassium tert-butoxide (“LIDAKOR reagent”) promotes smooth ring opening of oxiranes to afford allyl alcohols with good to excellent yields. Internal epoxyalkanes and large size epoxy-cycloalkanes give preferentially or exclusively trans-alkenols. The regio- and stereochemistry of the ring opening reaction are essentially the consequence of syn-periplanar elimination mechanisms.
