Epoxides are attacked by the lithiated anion of allyldiphenylphosphane oxide in 1,2-dimethoxyethane as solvent in a boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex promoted ring opening reaction to afford a mixture of regioisomeric bishomoallyl alcohols (α- and γ-attack of the nucleophile) in good overall yields. When toluene is used as reaction medium a pronounced preference for γ-attack of the anion is observed.
