Article Synopsis
- The article discusses a new method using a ruthenium catalyst for converting epoxides into branched alcohols while preserving the product's enantiomeric purity.
- The catalyst, a PNN-pincer-ruthenium complex, operates effectively at room temperature with various types of epoxides, including aryl and alkyl variants.
- Detailed studies explore the catalyst's behavior, reaction kinetics, and mechanisms, highlighting how it selectively cleaves the epoxide ring to yield the desired alcohols.
