Sulfite-promoted one-pot synthesis of sulfides by reaction of aryl disulfides with alkyl halides

A sodium dithionite, sodium thiosulfate and rongalite promoted one-pot synthesis of aryl alkyl sulfides at room temperature has been developed. The reactions of a range of disulfides with alkyl halides proceeded smoothly in the presence of rongalite. Possible reaction pathways are discussed and the effects of these sulfites on disulfides are investigated. The important features of this protocol are metal-free, strong-base-free, and mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, short reaction times and high yields of products.
