A convenient and efficient procedure for the ring-opening of 1,2- epoxyethanes with ammonium thiocyanate in the presence of some Schiff-base complexes of metal(II) is described. The cleavage of the oxirane ring is found to proceed regioselectively under mild reaction conditions. Thus, several 2-hydroxyethyl thiocyanates, useful intermediates toward biological-active molecules, are easily obtained in very good yields.

2-Phenyl-2-(2-pyridyl)imidazolidine (PPI) catalysis the addition of thiocyanate ion to epoxides to afford g -hydroxy thiocyanate in high yields, mild conditions, and regioselectivity. Thus, several 2-hydroxyethyl thiocyanates, which are useful intermediates toward biological active molecules, are obtained easily in very good yields.

The regioselective ring-opening reactions of some epoxides with ammonium thiocyanate in the presence of a series of new phenol-containing macrocyclic diamides and also dibenzo-18-crown-6-, 18-crown-6-, benzo-15-crown-5-, and pyridine-containing macrocyclic diamide have been studied. The epoxides were subject to cleavage by NH4SCN in the presence of these catalysts under mild reaction conditions in various aprotic solvents. In this study, reagents and conditions have been discovered with which the individual beta -hydroxy thiocyanates can be synthesized in high yield and with more than 90% regioselectivity. The results can be discussed in terms of a four-step mechanism: (1) formation of complex between catalyst and NH4SCN, (2) release of SCN- nucleophile from the complex, (3) reaction of the active nucleophile at the less sterically hindered site in the epoxide, and (4) regeneration of catalyst. The major advantages of this method are as follows: (1) high regioselectivity, (2) simple regeneration of catalyst, (3) its reuse through several cycles without a decrease in activity, and (4) ease of workup of the reaction.
