An Efficient Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Sulfides from Organic Disulfides and Aromatic Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1993.1

In the presence of an active acidic catalyst generated from SbCl5 and AgSbF6, the sulfenylation reaction of aromatic compounds with organic disulfides smoothly proceeds in refluxing 1,2-dichloroethane to afford the corresponding unsymmetrical sulfides in high yields.
