A mild, rapid and highly regioselective opening of epoxides by mercaptans to -hydroxy sulfides and benzoxathiepinones has been achieved in excellent yields, using catalytic amount of (bromodimethyl)sulfonium bromide in solvent free reaction conditions.

Four ketoreductases (KREDs) were identified for the enantioselectivesynthesis of β-hydroxysulfides. KRED311 and KRED349 catalyse the synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides bearing a stereocentre at the C−Obond with opposite absolute configurations via chemoenzymaticcascades from thiophenols/thiols and α-haloketones/alcohols. KRED253 and KRED384 catalyse the synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides bearing a stereocentre
