sulfides and β-hydroxyl nitriles by ring opening of epoxides with aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic thiols and trimethylsilyl cyanide at room temperature under solvent free conditions. All the reactions proceeded satisfactorily in short times and afforded the corresponding products in good to excellent yields with high regioselectivity and chemoselectivity under mild reaction conditions.

An efficient and rapid procedure is developed for room-temperature ring opening of various epoxides with thiols under solvent-free conditions in the presence of catalytic amount of superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles. As a result, high conversion of reactants to various beta-hydroxy sulfides is observed in short time periods while the heterogeneous catalyst could be recovered and reused over several cycles without loosing its activity. Competitive reactions show higher reactivity of aromatic thiols over the aliphatic counterparts. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An environmentally friendly and efficient procedure is developed for ring opening of various epoxides with thiols under non-thermal conditions. Reactions take place by ultrasonic irradiation of the two reactants suspended in an additive-free aqueous medium. Consequently, high-yield formation of various beta-hydroxy sulfides is quickly observed.[GRAPHICS].
