Organic promoters, such as chiral phosphoric acids, amino‐ and peptidyl thioureas, and sulfinamides, have been successfully used for a variety of enantioselective transformations of epoxides under catalytic conditions, involving direct nucleophilic attack at the oxirane ring, base‐catalysed β‐eliminations and Brønsted acid catalysed 1,2‐rearrangements. You do not need to draw or indicate any inorganic ionic products. are fairly unreactive except to very strong acids such as HI or HBr. Epoxides can be used as nucleophiles in intramolecular Nicholas reactions <2004OL565>.A nickel-catalyzed C–C bond-forming reaction between alkynes and epoxides has been developed <2003JA8076, 2005T6243>.Both inter- and intramolecular reactions are possible.

[3] As ageneral remark, structural features of the epoxides and reaction condi-tions affect the regio- and stereocontrol of the ring cleavage, thus showing some limitations in the application of this tool. diethyl ether,
