Abstract

Abstract : In a one-step procedure, various β -bromoalcohols were synthesized from natural terpenes in good to excellent yields. Using different catalysts, the reaction was carried out at room temperature, with H2 O as nucleophile and N -bromosuccinimide as a bromine source under mild reaction conditions. The synthesized β -bromoalcohols were subsequently converted in situ to the corresponding epoxides in good yields.
