Catalysis by an ionic liquid: Efficient conjugate addition of thiols to electron deficient alkenes catalyzed by molten tetrabutylammonium bromide under solvent-free conditions

An inexpensive and readily available ionic liquid, tetrabutylammonium bromide in the molten state, efficiently catalyzes the conjugate addition of thiols to α,β-unsaturated nitriles, carboxylic ester, ketones and aldehydes as well as nitro olefins.

A simple, efficient, and green procedure for the 1,4-addition of thiols to conjugated alkenes and alkynes catalyzed by sodium acetate in aqueous medium

A benign and inexpensive salt, sodium acetate, efficiently catalyzes 1,4-addition of thiols to a variety of conjugated alkenes such as ?,?-unsaturated ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic esters, nitriles, nitro compounds, and chalcones in aqueous THF. The reac

Indium(I) iodide promoted cleavage of dialkyl disulfides - Application of the Michael addition of thiolate anions to conjugated carbonyl compounds and regioselective ring opening of epoxides

Indium(I) iodide promotes cleavage of dialkyl disulfides generating thiolate anions that then undergo facile addition to α,β-unsaturated ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic esters, and nitriles under neutral conditions producing corresponding β-ketosulfides or β-cyanosulfides. This strategy has also been used for the regioselective nucleophilic ring opening of epoxides by thiolate anions in presence of indium(III) chloride producing corresponding β-hydroxyphenyl sulfides. The reactions are in general, very clean, high yielding, and reasonably fast. Thus, simple and convenient procedures for the synthesis of β-ketosulfides or β-cyanosulfides and β-hydroxyalkyl sulfides have been developed using this cleavage reaction.

Formation of zinc thiolates by reductive cleavage of disulfides with the Zn/AlCl3 system in aqueous media, and their use for Michael addition

A simple, convenient, and efficient one-pot protocol for the reductive cleavage of disulfides and Michael addition to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds mediated by the Zn/AlCl3 system in aqueous media is reported.

Indium(I) iodide-promoted cleavage of dialkyl disulfides and subsequent Michael addition of thiolate anions to conjugated carbonyl compounds

Indium(I) iodide promotes cleavage of dialkyl disulfides generating thiolate anions which then undergo facile addition to α,β-unsaturated ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic esters and nitriles under neutral conditions producing corresponding β-keto or β-cyano
