A higher order cuprate reacted with trans-2,3-epoxybutane a high yield both counted on the epoxide (96%) and on the haloalkane (85%). Enolate derived from trans-2,3-Epoxybutan has chiral recognition.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
