Abstract

A general, straightforward and odourless ring-opening reaction allows the preparation of β-hydroxy sulfides from in situ generated S-alkylisothiouronium salts in urea-choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvent (DES). The reaction of epoxides with thiourea in DES yields the corresponding thiiranes.
