Catalyst-Free, Efficient, and Facile Conversion of Epoxides to β-Hydroxy Thiocyanates Under Neutral Conditions
摘要:
Epoxides are efficiently and easily converted to their corresponding -hydroxy thiocyanates by NH4SCN in refluxing acetonitrile in a regio- and chemoselective manner under neutral conditions without using a catalyst, in spite of the use of many different catalysts reported in the literature for this purpose.
