Abstract

Epoxids are efficiently converted to the corresponding thiiranes by ammonium thiocyanate (NH 4 SCN) in the presence of catalytic amounts of oxalic acid with excellent isolated yields under mild and nonaqueous reaction conditions. This conversion performed under both conventional heating and microwave conditions. Distinct rate enhancement is observed under microwave irradiation.
