Abstract
A stereospecific triphenylphosphine oxide-catalyzed 1,2-dichlorination reaction of epoxides is effective for a range of terminal and internal epoxides. In contrast to the classical Appel-type dichlorination of epoxides, oxalyl chloride is used as a stoichiometric reagent to generate the chlorophosphonium salt responsible for dichlorination from catalytic triphenylphosphine oxide.
