Efficient synthesis of β-hydroxy sulfides by microwave-promoted ring opening in (+)-3-carene trans-epoxide with sodium thiolates
摘要:
Reaction of (+)-3-carene trans-epoxide with sodium thiolates in methanolic solution in a microwave oven at 140 degrees C for 35-40 min affords corresponding (1S,3S,4S,6R)-4-sulfanylcaran-3-ols in 75-95% yields.
