Epoxide opening, Birch conditions, radical anions

Epoxide Opening by Single Electron Transfer Birch Conditions and Radical Anions... 

In the light of the success of the Birch conditions for reducing organic compounds it is not surprising that epoxides can be opened by solvated electrons [6-9]. The initially formed radical is then further reduced to give carbanionic species, which do not display the reactivity of radicals. This concept has been extended by Bartmann [10], Cohen et al. [11], Conrow [12], and Yus et al. [13,14] who employed aromatic radical anions as the reduc-...
