High valence vanadium complexes induce the selective ring opening of epoxides. The monosubstituted epoxides are isomerized with complete regioselectivity each forming a single carbonyl compound exclusively. Likewise a highly regioselective isomerization of 1,1-disubstituted or 1,1,2-trisubstituted epoxides was observed in all reactions.
