Herein we report a simple and efficient methodology for the synthesis of thioacetates using benzyltriethylammonium tetrathiomolybdate and acetic anhydride as the key reagents, starting from alkyl halides in a multistep, tandem reaction process. Its application in the synthesis of orthogonally protected cysteine and anomeric β-thioglycosides has also been demonstrated.

The conversion of a wide variety of halides to thioesters by reaction with potassium thiocetate under mild conditions is described, and the generality of the method is demonstrated.
