Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

It is established that tetrafluoroboric acid (HBF4) is an effective catalyst for halogen substitution reactions of oxiranes (epichlorohydrin and 1-bromo-3-methyl-2,3-epoxybutane) with aldehydes and ketones, forming 1,3-dioxolanes in high yields.
