An ongoing synthetic project required the synthesis of diol 1. A general procedure for the directed cleavage of sterically unbiased epoxy alcohols with copper (I)-catalyzed Grignard reagents will be described. The regiospecific ring opening of epoxy alcohols has been used to great advantage by Kishi and others. 1 Attack on 2 (R= CH3) by lithium dimethylcuprate takes place specifically and in excellent yield at C-2. The regiochemicalpreference observed in this case appears to be stericin origin because treatment of 2 (R=H) under identical conditions leads to an indiscriminate reaction in which equal amounts of 1, 2-and 1, 3-diol are formed. 2 We will show that regioselective reactions at C-2 of 2 and related epoxy alcohols can be observed by judicious choice of reaction conditions. The effect of temperature upon the reaction of 3 with lithium dimethylcuprate in ether was examined. Modest regioselectivity in the desired sense was observed at-20 C (Table I). Lowering the temperature led to an increase in regioselectivity while greatly diminishing the reaction
