Bis(tributyltin) Sulfide: An Effective and General Sulfur-Transfer Reagent

Bis(tributyltin) sulfide acts efficiently to transfer the sulfur atom as S(2-) to a variety of halide substrates to afford the corresponding symmetrical sulfides in good overall yield.

A process for the preparation of isoflavones propanethiol

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing isopropyl mercaptan from propylene and hydrogen sulfide. According to the method, a heat insulation type fixed bed reactor is used and isopropyl mercaptan is synthesized of hydrogen sulfide and propylene in the presence of a solid acid catalyst according to a continuous production process. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the reaction conditions are easy to control, the yield is high, the process is simple, and the environmental pollution is reduced.

Hydrogenation of sulfoxides to sulfides under mild conditions using ruthenium nanoparticle catalysts

The first demonstration of the hydrogenation of sulfoxides under atmospheric H2 pressure is reported. The highly efficient reaction is facilitated by a heterogeneous Ru nanoparticle catalyst. The mild reaction conditions enable the selective hydrogenation of a wide range of functionalized sulfoxides to the corresponding sulfides. The high redox ability of RuO x nanoparticles plays a key role in the hydrogenation.
