Recent trends in ring opening of epoxides with sulfur nucleophiles

Sajjad Ahmad et al. Mol Divers. 2018 Feb.

Abstract

Thiolysis of epoxides offers an efficient and simple synthetic approach to access [Formula: see text]-hydroxy sulfides which are valuable scaffold in the synthesis of various important molecules in medicinal chemistry. This review article presents a recent compilation of the synthetic approaches developed after 2000 for the thiolysis of epoxides.

Keywords: -Hydroxy sulfides; Epoxides; Organosulfur compounds; Thiols; Thiolysis.
