A simple synthetic method for the preparation of scalemic allylic alcohols from toluene-p-sulfonates of scalemic 2,3-epoxy alcohols is reported. Satisfactory yields are obtained by treatment of toluene-p-sulfonates of 2,3-epoxy alcohols with potassium iodide followed by triphenylphosphine and iodine in a one-pot synthesis.
