Abstract

Abstract The anti-Markovnikov addition of thiols to alkenes/alkynes and thiolysis of epoxides is described using Amberlyst-15© as a selective, commercially available, inexpensive and reusable catalyst. The products like diorganyl sulphides, β-hydroxy sulphides and phenyl (styryl) sulfanes were obtained in good to excellent yields in short reaction time and with high regio-selectivity. The catalyst was reused up to five consecutive recycles without any ...
