Abstract
Solvent-free ring opening of 1,2-epoxides with aromatic and aliphatic thiols under 1 mol% magnesium bromide ethyl etherate catalysis affords rapid formation of β-hydroxy sulfides at ambient temperature with excellent yields. Nucleophilic attack of the thiols occurs regioselectively at the less hindered position of the epoxides.
