The generation of (Samarium) thiolates from aryl thiocyanates and their reaction with epoxides: A route to β-hydroxy sulfides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00032719808006491

This investigation describes the reduction of an aryl thiocyanate with samarium(II) iodide, followed by reaction with various epoxides, to produce β-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.
