Heteroaromatic dithioacetals part I: The preparation of unsymmetrical dithioacetals from heteroaromatic thiols

The preparation of unsymmetrical dithioacetals derived from heteroaromatic thiols and alkyl thiols is described. Insights into the rich potential of this new class of thioacetals is exemplified with the conversion to various derivatives.

Indium-catalyzed reductive sulfidation of aromatic carboxylic acids and aldehydes with elemental sulfur to prepare symmetrical benzyl sulfides

Described herein is a direct approach to symmetrical thioethers from either aromatic carboxylic acids or aromatic aldehydes with elemental sulfur (S8) by using a reducing system combined with InI3 and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS). This sulfidation does not require functionalized sulfur reagents, such as sulfides, disulfides, or metal sulfides, and it simultaneously forms two carbon-sulfur bonds in a single catalytic system. The coupling reaction of either aromatic carboxylic acids or aromatic aldehydes with elemental sulfur in the presence of a catalytic amount of InI3 and TMDS effectively produced the corresponding symmetrical benzyl sulfide derivatives.

An Efficient Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Sulfides Using Liquid-Liquid Phase-Transfer Catalysis

The reaction between alkyl ethaneimidothioate hydrohalides (1-alkylthioethaniminium halides) and organic halides gives unsymmetrical sulfides in good yields under liquid-liquid phase-transfer conditions.
