Benzenethiol is reacted with acetic acid in a hydrogen stream over [(Mo6Cl8)Cl4(H2O) 2]·6H2O. Catalytic activity of the clusters appears above 200 °C, yielding S-phenyl thioacetate. The selectivity is 98% at 300 °C. Niobium, tantalum, and tungsten halide clusters with the same octahedral metal framework also catalyze the reaction. Benzoic acid and aliphatic carboxylic acids afford the corresponding S-phenyl carbothioates by reaction with benzenethiol. Aliphatic thiols are also S-acylated to yield the corresponding S-alkyl carbothioates. When carboxylic esters are applied to the reaction with benzenethiol over [(Nb6Cl12)Cl 2(H2O)4]·4H2O at 450 °C, the sterically unhindered moiety of the ester is incorporated into the products: S-phenyl thioacetate or methyl phenyl sulfide is obtained selectively. A Br?nsted acid site developed on the cluster complex by thermal activation is the active site of the catalyst. Hence, solid acids such as silica-alumina, zeolites, and heteropoly acids that are stable above 200 °C also catalyze these reactions.
FUNCTIONALIZATION OF SATURATED HYDROCARBONS IN THE PRESENCE OF APROTIC ORGANIC SUPERACIDS. 2. SINGLE-STAGE SYNTHESIS OF THIOESTERS R1CO-SR FROM n-ALKANES OR CYCLOALKANES (RH), ELEMENTAL SULFUR, AND COMPLEXES R1COBr*2AlBr3

It has been found for the first time that n-alkanes and cycloalkanes (RH) can interact with elemental sulfur at ca. 20 deg C.These reactions go forward in the presence of aprotic organic superacids with the composition R1CO-SR in satisfactory yields.
