Ak. Maiti et al., MONTMORILLONITE CLAY-CATALYZED REGIOSELECTIVE RING-OPENING OF OXIRANES WITH THIOPHENOL - A SIMPLE SYNTHESIS OF BETA-HYDROXY SULFIDES, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (8), 1993, pp. 325-325
Oxiranes are regioselectively cleaved by thiophenol in the presence of
montmorillonite clay to afford good yields of the corresponding beta-
hydroxy sulfides.
