Molybdenum (VI)-catalyzed dehydrative construction of C[sbnd]O and C[sbnd]S bonds formation via etherification and thioetherification of alcohols and thiols

An inexpensive, easily available, environmentally benign, and efficient catalyst molybdenum(VI) dioxo (acetylacetonate)2 was used for the direct oxo- and thioetherification of alcohol. This method endures selective molybdenum catalyzed dehydrative synthesis of symmetrical ethers from benzylic secondary alcohols as well as unsymmetrical ethers from the reaction of benzylic secondary alcohols with primary alcohol. Furthermore, we have been also successful in the synthesis of Aryl thioether by using alcohol and thiols.

Highly Efficient and Chemoselective Tertiary and Secondary Benzylation of Thiols Catalyzed by Indium(III) Triflate

Several examples of nucleophilic substitution reactions of compounds that have good leaving groups have been previously reported, but the direct use of simple alcohols still remains a challenge because of the poor leaving ability of the hydroxy group. Herein, an efficient and highly chemoselective method for the S-benzylation of a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic thiols has been accomplished in the presence of catalytic amounts (0.1–0.2 mol-%) of indium(III) triflate. Our approach is atom efficient (water is the only byproduct) and suitable to obtain the corresponding unsymmetrical thioethers in excellent yields (up to 99 %). The low loading of catalyst that are needed to obtain extraordinarily high chemoselectivities and the generality of the reaction make this approach unique.

A novel approach to the practical synthesis of sulfides: An InBr 3-Et3SiH catalytic system promoted the direct reductive sulfidation of acetais with disulfides

We have demonstrated a facile and direct synthesis of sulfide derivatives using acetais and ketals, derived, from aromatic/ conjugated, aldehydes and aromatic ketones, with disulfides and the InBr3-Et3SiH reducing system., We also succeeded in developing an unprecedented one-pot preparation of an aliphatic sulfide from a disulfide and an aliphatic acetal.
