All articles of this category FeCl 3 •6H 2 O absorbed on chromatographic silica gel can act as an efficient catalyst for alcoholysis, hydrolysis and acetolysis of epoxides. Methanolysis of ( R )-styrene oxide proceeds with high stereospecificity and in excellent yield. This catalyst can also convert epoxides to their corresponding β -halohydrins and β -nitrato alcohols in the presence of chloride, bromide and nitrate ions respectively. iron(III) chloride supported on SiO 2 - catalyst - ring opening - epoxides - nucleophiles
