Abstract

Abstract A simple and rapid one-pot protocol is described for the preparation of α-and β- hydroxy sulfides. The direct solvent-free microwave irradiation of diaryliodonium salts, potassium thiocyanate, and ethylene glycol/β-propylene glycol without any catalyst or base affords the final compounds in good yields (65–95%) in around 10–25 min.
