Quite recently we found that the reaction of acyclic 2-aryl-2,3-epoxy acylates proceeded via the C3-cleavage of the oxirane ring. However, the intermediates are phenonium ions, which are completely different from the intermediates of eqs 1 and 2 due to the flexibility of the substrates.

The absolute configuration of the secondary alcohol was deduced by referring to the literature and our previous study (refs 1-3). This deduction was consequently determined by agreement of the synthesized 10 to the authentic one.
