Abstract

  This study represents a highly efficient and regioselective ring-opening of epoxides with acetic anhydride in the presence of NaOAc·3H2O at solvent-free conditions. The ring-opening of different classes of epoxides were carried in oil bath (70-80 °C) to afford 1,2-diacetates in high to excellent yields
