Abstract

Fe(III) substituted Keggin type polyoxometalate ((TBA)4PFeW11O39 · 3H2O) is an effective catalyst for the ring opening of epoxides with aromatic amines under neutral and mild conditions at room temperature. This regio- and chemoselective reaction proceeds rapidly and affords the corresponding β-aminoalcohols in excellent yields. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
