16.11Reactions of Epoxides:A Review and a Preview Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202 16-58
Reactions of Epoxides All reactions involve nucleophilic attack at carbon and lead to opening of the ring. An example is the reaction of ethylene oxide with a Grignard reagent (discussed in Section 15.4 as a method for the synthesis of alcohols). Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202 16-59
