Nanolayered cobalt-molybdenum sulphide (Co-Mo-S) materials have been established as excellent catalysts for C-S bond construction. These catalysts allow for the preparation of a broad range of thioethers in good to excellent yields from structurally diverse thiols and readily available primary as well as secondary alcohols. Chemoselectivity in the presence of sensitive groups such as double bonds, nitriles, carboxylic esters and halogens has been demonstrated. It is also shown that the reaction takes place through a hydrogen-autotransfer (borrowing hydrogen) mechanism that involves Co-Mo-S-mediated dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions. A novel catalytic protocol based on the thioetherification of alcohols with hydrogen sulphide (H2S) to furnish symmetrical thioethers has also been developed using these earth-abundant metal-based sulphide catalysts.

A site-selective metal-free dealkylative approach to synthesize aryl alkyl and symmetrical dialkyl sulfides has been developed. This procedure is convenient and has wide functional group tolerance giving rise to sulfides carrying various alkyl chains from simple alkyl sulfides and alkyl halides in good to excellent yields. This transalkylation proceeds by an ionic mechanism via sulfonium intermediates and it was proposed that dimethylacetamide (DMAC) may participate in part to promote the reaction.
Radical-Anion Nucleophilic Substitution in p-Bromobenzyl Methyl and p-Bromobenzyl Phenyl Ethers. Competing Fragmentations of Radical Anions

Photoinitiated reactions of p-bromobenzyl methyl and p-bromobenzylphenyl ethers with sodium benzenethiolate result in replacement of both the bromine atom in the aromatic ring and the methoxy or phenoxy group. The reaction follows the radical-anion nucleophilic aromatic substitution pattern, and fragmentation of radical anions derived from the substrate occurs along two competing pathways. The competing fragmentation of radical anions can be used as a test for the radical-anion substitution mechanism.
