求核性エポキシドとしてのオキシラニルアニオンの発生と反応

抄録

Epoxides are widely recognized as an extremely useful electrophile in view of their enhanced reactivity attributable to a high degree of ring strain, but the reaction of an epoxide as a nucleophile, i.e., oxiranyl anion, is less common. The application of oxiranyl anions in organic synthesis provides a new methodology to introduce an oxiranyl group directly into organic molecules, where new complex carbon skeleton as well as new functionality is created. The generation and reaction of oxiranyl anions as well as the synthetic applications are highlighted in this review.
