2,4,6‐Trichloro‐1,3,5‐triazine (TCT, cyanuric chloride) was found to mediate the regio‐ and stereoselective ring opening of epoxides in H 2 O in the presence of morpholine at room temperature to afford the corresponding β ‐chlorohydrins in excellent yields ( Table ). The transformation is very simple, fast, efficient, and ecologically beneficial.
