Indium-catalyzed direct conversion of dibenzyl ethers to dibenzyl sulfides using elemental sulfur and a hydrosilane and its application to the preparation of benzyl selenides

Described herein is a catalytic system composed of an indium(III) compound, a hydrosilane and an easily handled form of elemental sulfur (S8) that effectively and directly catalyzes the sulfidation of dibenzyl ethers to produce dibenzyl sulfides. This system could also be applied to selenium in a straightforward conversion to dibenzyl selenides.

Phase-vanishing method with gas evolution and its application to organic synthesis

Using a phase-vanishing (PV) system, hydrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen sulfide generated in situ from CaH2, KO2, and P2S5, respectively, were directly reacted with substances in the organic phase to afford the desired products. The selective synthesis of sulfides and disulfides was achieved with the evolution of H2S gas via tuning the bases used in the PV method. Using this PV system, reactions with hazardous gaseous reagents can be carried out easily and safely in a common test tube.

Convenient and robust one-pot synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical benzyl thioethers from benzyl halides using thiourea

A series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical benzyl thioethers have been synthesised using a one-pot reaction from benzyl halides and thiourea. This procedure avoids the isolation or handling of malodorous thiols and generates high yields of benzyl thioether
