A new protocol was developed to synthesize (enantioenriched) thioethers and selenoethers from (chiral) benzylic trimethylammonium salts and di(hetero)aryl disulfides or diselenides. These syntheses were promoted by the presence of weak base and did not require the use of any transition metal, and resulted in the target products with good to excellent yields (72-94%). Using quaternary ammonium salts synthesized from enantiomerically enriched amines led to highly enantiopure benzylic thioethers and selenoethers (94-99% ee) with configurations reversed from those of their enantioenriched quaternary ammonium salts.

Nanolayered cobalt-molybdenum sulphides (Co-Mo-S) catalyse borrowing hydrogen C-S bond formation reactions of thiols or H2S with alcohols

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.

Thioethers as important building blocks have been usually found in organic synthesis. Herein, a series of long chained acid-functionalized ionic liquids derived from pyrrolidine were applied for the thiolation of alcohols to synthesize different compounds containing thioether structures. This kind of ionic liquids exhibited higher efficiency than general ionic liquids based on imidazole, providing up to 99 % yield with [BsCtP][OTf] as the catalyst at room temperature for 0.25 h. The results indicated that the activities of the ionic liquids have relationship with the side chain length of ionic liquids based on pyrrolidine, anions and cations. The catalytic system had wide substrate scope and was applicable for the reaction of aromatic primary and secondary alcohols and thiols including aliphatic and aromatic thiols, benzothiazole-2-thiols and benzooxazole-2-thiols. Besides, there was no obvious change in activity of the catalyst after six runs. Thus, the catalytic system exhibited good recyclability. Additionally, carbocations should be the key intermediate and several functionalized groups of the ionic liquids have synergetic effect for the thiolation.

This study describes an odorless protocol for the synthesis of unsymmetrical sulfides via cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of nitroarenes with alkyl halides in the presence of thiourea as sulfur source under
Visible-Light-Induced Cyclization of Electron-Enriched Phenyl Benzyl Sulfides: Synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans and Tetrahydropyrans
Li, Wei,Yang, Chao,Gao, Guo-Lin,Xia, Wujiong
supporting information, p. 1391 - 1396 (2016/06/01)
A new approach to the preparation of tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans through a photoredox catalytic process is described. The introduction of a phenylsulfanyl auxiliary group permits the substrates to be readily oxidized to form cationic intermediates for sequential intramolecular cyclization. The method features mild reaction conditions and operational simplicity.

The substitution of a siloxy group using thiosilanes smoothly occurred in the presence of InI3 catalyst to yield the corresponding thioethers. InI3was a specifically effective catalyst in this reaction system, while other typical Lew
One-Pot Copper-Catalysed Thioetherification of Aryl Halides Using Alcohols and Lawesson's Reagent in Diglyme
Gholinejad, Mohammad
, p. 4162 - 4167 (2015/06/30)
A new protocol for the thioetherification of structurally varied alcohols with aryl halides using Lawesson's reagent, catalysed by copper(I) iodide, and using diglyme as a safe solvent was developed. Using this method, the reactions of aryl halides proceeded efficiently, and the desired sulfides were obtained in high to excellent yields. The method uses alcohols as starting materials, which is a significant advantage over methods that start from thiols. Alcohols are widely commercially available in a much greater structural diversity than thiols, and they are also nontoxic and not foul-smelling. A reaction mechanism was proposed. A copper-catalysed method for the thioetherification of alcohols with aryl halides using Lawesson's reagent was developed.
Alkylation of thiols with trichloroacetimidates under neutral conditions

Trichloroacetimidates are displaced with thiols to form the corresponding sulfides without the need for an added acid or base by simply heating the reactants in refluxing THF. This operationally simple procedure provides the corresponding sulfides in excellent yields with only the formation of the neutral trichloroacetamide as the side product. The imidate may also be formed in situ, allowing for a direct method for the formation of sulfides from alcohols. This reaction provides a general method for the synthesis of a variety of sulfides from inexpensive and readily available alcohol starting materials.
