Sodium Telluride-Mediated Sulfenylation of α-Halo Carbonyl Compounds with Diphenyl Disulfide

Under mild aprotic conditions α-halo carbonyl compounds react with diphenyl disulfide in the presence of sodium telluride to give the corresponding α-phenylthio derivatives in good to moderate yields.The reaction appears to proceed involving the sulfur-sulfur bond cleavage of diphenyl disulfide by sodium telluride.

A new approach to sulfenylated enolates

Bissulfenylation followed by monodesulfenylation with a Grignard reagent cleanly provides magnesium enolates of α-phenylthiocarbonyl compounds for aldol condensation.
