Simple and highly efficient catalyst- and waste-free ring opening of epoxides with Na2S in water

Water was found to be a highly efficient and green catalyst and solvent for ring-opening reaction of epoxides with Na2S at room temperature to give substituted bis(hydroxyethyl)thioethers in high yields.

Kinetic peculiarities of the reaction of liquefied hydrogen sulfide with propylene oxide

The kinetics of the liquid-phase reaction of hydrogen sulfide with propylene oxide was studied. In the presence of excess epoxide, the reaction occurred in two successive macrostages: (1) formation of 2-hydroxypropane-1-thiol and (2) formation of 1,1′-di(2-hydroxypropyl) sulfide. Both of the stages are autocatalytic. 2-Hydroxypropane-1-thiol was mainly formed in the presence of excess H2S. The overall third order of the reaction (the first with respect to each reagent and to 2-hydroxypropane-1-thiol) was found. A kinetic scheme was proposed, and the rate constants of particular stages were calculated. The influence of various catalysts (active carbon, ion-exchange resins, metal oxides, and others) was studied, and the relative efficiency of some of them was determined.
