Abstract

Poly(ethylene glycol)–bound sulfonic acid, PEG-SO3H, was developed as an environmentally friendly and efficient homogeneous polymeric catalyst in organic synthesis. This polymeric phase-transfer catalyst catalyzed the regioselective ring opening of epoxides by thiocyanate ion to give thiocyanohydrins as key intermediates in agricultural and pharmaceutical chemistry in high yields.
