Al(CF3SO3)3 is a highly effective catalyst for the ring opening of epoxides with methanol, as well as for the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols. Factors that influence the rate of the ring opening of butene oxide with methanol and the esterification of acetic acid with n-propanol and ethanol were investigated. It was found that low concentrations (e.g., ~5 ppm) of Al(CF3SO3)3 catalyze the ring-opening reactions, whereas considerably higher concentrations are required for esterification reactions. Molecular modeling studies suggest that these differences can be rationalized in terms of the formation energies of the active intermediates of these reactions.Key words: epoxide, ring opening, esterification, aluminium triflate.

A POM@rGO monolith reactor was constructed using a facile and broad-spectrum hydrothermal approach and it effectively catalyzes epoxide ring-opening reactions with 99% conversion and over 90% selectivity, reaching a turnover number (TON) of around 28 044 after 38 h catalysis.

The regioselective epoxide ring opening at less substituted carbon atom of epoxide were reported by nucleophiles like heterocyclic amines which gives well known 1,2-difunctionalized amino alcohols. These are present in many synthetic as well as natural products. The ring opening of epoxide is achieved by cleavage with amines in presence of copper(0) as a catalyst. It is observed that the lithium napthalenide reduction of copper(I) produces a highly reactive form of copper(0) that acts as a catalyst for ring opening of epoxides with an amine.
