The reactions of different dithiocarbamate anions with epoxides were investigated in water. With this method, β-hydroxy dithiocarbamate derivatives were synthesized in high yields. The reaction was also carried out in DMF in the presence of lithium perchlorate with a simple work-up procedure, and the results are compared.Key words: hydroxy dithiocarbamate, dithiocarbamate anion, epoxide, water.
