Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6-Epoxyethyl-3-oxatricyclo [3.2.1.0 2.4 ] octane (42g, 0.28mol), ammonium thiocyanate (23g, 0.30 mol) and tetrahydrofuran (125 ml) were placed in a 200-ml egg-plant type flask, and stirred with a magnetic stirrer in a water bath of 50° C. Although first the reaction solution was completely uniform, a white precipitate was deposited about 30 minutes later. 5 hours later, the reaction mixture was suction filtered by a Nutsche to remove the white precipitate, and the filtrate was concentrated by a rotary evaporator. Toluene (250 ml) and water (80 ml) were added to the concentrate, and after separation of the water layer the toluene layer was washed (80 ml ×2). The toluene layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and the toluene was then distilled away by a rotary evaporator. The concentrate was simply distillated under reduced pressure to obtain 6-epithioethyl-3-oxatricyclo [3.2.1,02.4 ] octane (40g, yield 87%).
