Rearrangements of acyclic epoxides
The BF₃-catalysed rearrangements of three epoxy-cholestanes have been reinvestigated. The products isolated from these reactions were markedly dependent of the solvent. A novel fragmentation (and recyclisation) mechanism is postulated to account for the occurrence of 4α-hydroxy compounds from the 4β...
