Herein we report the first metal-free regioselective Markovnikov ring-opening of epoxides (selectivity up to 99%) using an abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene (aNHC) to yield secondary alcohols. DFT calculations and X-ray crystallography suggest that the Markovnikov selectivity originates from the high nucleophilicity and steric factors associated with the aNHC.
在此,我们报道了首例使用异常氮杂环卡宾(aNHC)实现的环氧化物无金属区域选择性马尔科夫尼科夫开环反应(选择性高达99%),以生成仲醇。密度泛函理论(DFT)计算和X射线晶体学表明,马尔科夫尼科夫选择性源于与aNHC相关的高亲核性和空间因素。
