Highly regioselective thiolysis of oxiranes under supramolecular catalysis involving beta-cyclodextrin in water
In the presence of beta-cyclodextrin in water, ring opening of epoxides with various thiophenols proceeds with high regioselectivity in good yields. beta-Cyclodextrin can also be recovered and reused in various runs without affecting the efficiency of the process.
