“…Sulfur-containing groups find application in organic chemistry and in a wide range of pharmaceuticals [1,2], foods [3,4], natural compounds [5] and materials [6]. Among the wide variety of sulfurated compounds, β-hydroxy sulfides represent an important class of molecules present in natural products such as, for example, leukotrienes and pteriatoxin A. β-Hydroxy sulfides [7,8] are also used for clinical applications in the treatment of various diseases, i.e., heart diseases and hypertension (diltiazem). Catalyzed addition reactions to alkenes or thiolysis of epoxides with thiols or disulfides are the more common methodologies to obtain β-hydroxy sulfides [9][10][11][12].…”
