Addition of unactivated thiols to epoxides and oxetanes catalyzed by a rhenium-oxo complex
摘要:
A method for synthesizing beta- and gamma-hydroxy thioethers via addition of unactivated thiols to epoxides and oxetanes has been developed. This reaction is proposed to proceed through an unconventional mode of activation of the heterocycles. The transformation is catalyzed by ReO2I(PPh3)(2) affording beta- and gamma-hydroxy thioethers in moderate to excellent yield with excellent regioselectivity. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

This investigation describes the reduction of an aryl thiocyanate with samarium(II) iodide, followed by reaction with various epoxides, to produce beta-hydroxy sulfides. This method of ring opening of epoxides provides a substantial improvement in reaction time and convenience over existing methods while maintaining good regioselectivity and excellent yield.
