Highly regioselective thiolysis of oxiranes under supramolecular catalysis involving β-cyclodextrin in water

In the presence of β-cyclodextrin in water, ring opening of epoxides with various thiophenols proceeds with high regioselectivity in good yields. β-Cyclodextrin can also be recovered and reused in various runs without affecting the efficiency of the process.
