H<sub>2</sub>TPP Organocatalysis in Mild and Highly Regioselective Ring Opening of Epoxides to Halo Alcohols by Means of Halogen Elements
We found that elemental iodine and bromine are converted to trihalide nucleophiles (triiodine and tribromide anion, respectively) in the presence of catalytic amounts of <em>meso</em>-tetraphenylporphyrins (H<sub>2</sub>TPP). Therefore a highly...
