摘要

Epoxides are ubiquitous synthetic building blocks owing to the numerous tactics for their C–O bond cleavage. Remarkably, epoxides also undergo selective C–C bond cleavage by a broad range of transformations, utilizing orthogonal conditions to override the conventional C–O bond scission. These strategies allow the construction of diverse oxygenated cyclic and acyclic molecular backbones, often challenging to access otherwise. Here, we discuss the various modes of epoxide C–C bond cleavage reactions, highlighting synthetic applications of these reactions and suggesting directions for the further development of these powerful, yet underutilized, methods.
