Abstract
In this study, microwave assisted ring opening of benzonorbornadiene epoxide with alcohols was investigated. New alkoxy alcohols were synthesized regioselectively by Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement in short reaction times (up to 10 minutes) with high yield in the presence of a cheap and environmentally friendly heterogeneous montmorillonite-K10 catalyst. The products were purified by filtration only.
