Tetrathiomolybdate assisted epoxide ring opening with masked thiolates and selenoates: multistep reactions in one pot.
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.
