Title Catalyst-free Efficient Regioselective Ring Opening of Oxiranes with Thioacids in water
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Epoxide, ring opening, thioacids, water
Abstract Epoxide ring opening with thioacetic acid and thiobenzoic acid was investigated in the presence of water under catalyst-free conditions. This green and simple process gave an excellent yield. With simple decanting, the products were obtained in high purity and on a large scale. In this process, alkyl halide and ester cleavage were not observed.
