18 - 067Ring-Opening of Epoxyalcohols by Diethylaluminum Cyanide. Regio-and Stereoselective Synthesis of 1-Cyano-2,3-diols. — Diethy-laluminum cyanide (II) is a highly selective reagent for the ring openingof 2,3-epoxyalcohols under mild conditions. This methodology provides aconvenient route to dihydroxy nitriles and to the corresponding dihydroxy acids.— (BENEDETTI, FABIO; BERTI, FEDERICO; NORBEDO, STEFANO;Tetrahedron Lett. 40 (1999) 5, 1041-1044; Dip.
