Abstract
Iridium trichloride catalyzes the ring opening of epoxides by aryl, heterocyclic, or aliphatic amines under mild conditions. The reactions proceed at room temperature to afford the corresponding β-amino alcohols in excellent yields. In general, the aminolysis of cyclopentene oxide is faster than that of cyclohexene oxide in the presence of iridium trichloride as a catalyst.
