Amberlyst-15 as a new and reusable catalyst for regioselective ring-opening reactions of epoxides to beta-alkoxy alcohols
Amberlyst-15 serves as an inexpensive, effective, and environmental friendly heterogeneous catalyst for the regioselective ring-opening of epoxides by primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, resulted in the formation of beta-alkoxy alcohols in 40-95% yields under ultrasound irradiation.
