Exchange reaction of oxiranes with β-hydroxyalkyl sulfides, selenides,-amines, and-phosphines

Abstract

The results of studies on the exchange reactions of oxiranes with N II|, pill SII, and Se II organic compounds containing [~-hydroxyalkyl groups at the heteroatom, which give rise to oxiranes and l~-hydroxyalkyl derivatives with different structures, are surveyed. The characteristic features and kinetics of this reaction are analyzed. A quantitative description of the reaction is given.
