FeCl3•6H2O absorbed on chromatographic silica gel can act as an efficient catalyst for alcoholysis, hydrolysis and acetolysis of epoxides. Methanolysis of (R)-styrene oxide proceeds with high stereospecificity and in excellent yield. This catalyst can also convert epoxides to their corresponding β-halohydrins and β-nitrato alcohols in the presence of chloride, bromide and nitrate ions respectively.
