Epoxide, a cyclic ether, can be used to obtain important alcohols, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional polymers. This transformation is facilitated by the reductive ring opening of epoxide.

A metal-organic compound encapsulated in the nanosized pores of a crystalline solid selectively converts epoxides to diols in high yield under mild reaction conditions and with far less need for ...

Can making ephemeral anti-inflammatory fatty acids stick around a little longer protect people against Alzheimer’s disease? It just might, according to a study by Hui Zheng and colleagues at the ...

Epoxides belong to a class of organic compounds called “cyclic ethers” that are characterized by a three-atom ring. They are readily available compounds found in medicinal and agrochemical agents, as ...
