Epoxide, a cyclic ether, can be used to obtain important alcohols, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional polymers. This transformation is facilitated by the reductive ring opening of epoxide.

The reaction relies on an organoboron reagent to prime the epoxide for skeletal remodeling and a zinc salt to initiate the ...

Probes that form covalent bonds with RNA molecules on the basis of their chemical reactivity would advance our ability to study the transcriptome. We developed a set of electrophilic activity-based ...

Epoxides belong to a class of organic compounds called “cyclic ethers” that are characterized by a three-atom ring. They are readily available compounds found in medicinal and agrochemical agents, as ...
