Abstract: 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… read more here.
