title: Organocatalytic Regioselective Concomitant Thiocyanation and Acylation of Oxiranes Using Aroyl Isothiocyanates.
abstract: A regioselective and concomitant transfer of thiocyanate (-SCN) and aroyl/acyl (-COR) groups from aroyl/acyl isothiocyanates onto oxiranes was achieved, giving thiocyanato benzoates in 100% atom economy. In this biomimetic organocatalytic process, one part (-SCN) of aroyl/acyl isothiocyanates acts as the nucleophile whereas the other half (-COR) serves as an electrophilic partner.
