Tetrathiomolybdate Assisted Epoxide Ring Opening with Masked Thiolates and Selenoates: Multistep Reactions in One Pot

Abstract

Tetrathiomolybdate provides an easy access to \beta-hydroxy disulfides, \beta-hydroxy sulfides, and selenides from epoxides in a tandem, multistep process in one pot. This strategy has been utilized effectively in the construction of thiabicylo(3.2.2)nonane derivative 24
