An efficient ring opening of epoxides and aziridines has been carried out at room temperature using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-400) as reaction medium to form the corresponding 2-azido alcohols and 2-azido amines, respectively, in excellent yields within 30-45 minutes and with high regio- and stereoselectivity.

Tetrabutylammonium fluoride promotes ring-opening reactions of aziridines with trimethylsilyl compounds to give the corresponding products regioselectively in excellent yield. This reaction provides a facile and efficient access to cyano-, azido-, or chloroamines. The products are easily transformed to vicinal diamines or β-amino acids.

A wide variety of epoxides and aziridines were converted to the corresponding β-azido alcohols and β-azido amines with sodium azide using OxoneŽ in aqueous acetonitrile. The reactions were highly regioselective and efficient with excellent yields at room temperature under mild reaction conditions.
