Abstract

The convenient cleavage of symmetrical and unsymmetrical epoxides with either aromatic or aliphatic amine under solvent free conditions is reported. The reactions were carried out in a sealed ampoule at 90°C to give regioselectively the corresponding β-amino alcohol in one pot in high yields.
