Entropic factors provide unusual reactivity and selectivity in epoxide-opening reactions promoted by water
Despite the myriad of selective enzymatic reactions that occur in water, chemists have rarely capitalized on the unique properties of this medium to govern selectivity in reactions. Here we report detailed mechanistic investigations of a water-promoted reaction that displays high selectivity for wha...
