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.
芳酰基/酰基异硫氰酸酯可将硫氰酸根(-SCN)和芳酰基/酰基(-COR)基团同时、高区域选择性地转移到环氧化合物上,以 100%的原子经济性得到硫氰酸根苯甲酸酯。在这个仿生有机催化过程中,芳酰基/酰基异硫氰酸酯的一部分(-SCN)作为亲核试剂,而另一半(-COR)则作为亲电试剂。
