Iron(III) 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin as an Efficient Catalyst for Conversion of Epoxides to Thiiranes
Abstract
Iron(III) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin, Fe(TF5PP)Cl, is a new catalyst for the conversion of epoxides to the corresponding thiiranes in the presence of ammonium thiocyanate in excellent yields.
