A useful optimized synthetic methodology has been designed for the synthesis of nonsymmetric glyceryl diethers from epichlorohydrin. A tandem process combining a cheap, heterogeneous, and fully recoverable acid catalyst and alkaline hydroxide is used for the synthesis of a variety of glycerol-derived ethers bearing different alkyl substituents in 1 and 3 positions. Different heterogeneous acid catalysts have been tested for the reaction of epichlorohydrin with several alcohols, the best results being obtained with readily available recoverable and inexpensive montmorillonite-K10 and Nafion NR50. For the second reaction step, potassium hydroxide is used. In all the cases, good yields of the desired glyceryl diethers are obtained in smooth reaction conditions, always with total conversion of epichlorohydrin and without the need of intermediate purification. Scale-up of the tandem process has been carried out with good results.
1,3,2,4-diazadiphosphetidine-based phosphazane oligomers as source of P(III) atom economy reagents: Conversion of epoxides to vic -haloalcohols, vic -dihalides, and alkenes in the presence of halogen sources

1,3,2,4-Diazadiphosphetidines (P1-P3), as easily prepared, stable, and heterogeneous P(III) compounds, were used for the efficient conversion of epoxides to vic-halohydrins, vic-dihalides, or alkenes in the presence of different halogen sources in CH3CN. Of these phosphazanes, P3 is most suitable and contains 4 phosphorous atoms with the advantage of having greater atom economy and its phosphorus oxide byproduct can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by simple filtration. The nitrogen atoms in this molecule can also act as acid scavengers in the reaction.
Mild organic ammonium tribromide-mediated regioselective ring opening of epoxides with alcohols, water, acetic anhydride, and amines under solvent-free reaction conditions

Organic ammonium tribromide (OATB), N-methylpyrrolidine-2-one hydrotribromide (MPHT) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the regioselective ring opening of epoxides with various nucleophiles under solvent free conditions. This procedure occurs under neutral and mild reaction conditions with out adding any additive and afforded high yields of products.
