17. Bn has also been prepared from 4 in two steps (benzylation followed by epoxidation), but this procedure was less convenient.
18. The Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of epoxides leads usually to the corresponding alcohols even in alcoholic solvents (Schultze, L. M.; Chapman, H. H.; Dubree, N. J. P.; Jones, R. J.; Kent, K. M.; Lee, T. T.; Louie, M. S.; Postich, M. J.; Prisbe, E. J.; Rohloff, J. C.; Yu, R. H. Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 1853-1856),
19. but the formation of 2-methoxy-2-phenylethanol from styrene oxide under such conditions is documented (Sajiki, H.; Hattori, K.; Hirota, H. Chem. Commun. 1999, 1041-1042).
