Concept introduction:
Epoxides undergo nucleophilic ring opening reactions which are base-catalyzed. If the epoxide is unsymmetrical, then the anionic nucleophile will attack the less-hindered carbon atom of the ring. If the reaction conditions are basic, then the reaction will occur at the less substituted carbon atom.
