The efficient and straightforward syntheses of silylthioethers and disulfides are presented. The synthetic methodologies are based on new rhodium complexes containing bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands that turned out to be efficient catalysts in thiol and thiol-silane coupling reactions. These green protocols, which use easily accessible reagents, allow obtaining compounds containing S-Si and S-S bonds in solvent-free conditions. Additionally, preliminary tests on coupling of mono- and octahydro-substituted spherosilicates with selected thiols have proved to be very promising and showed that these catalytic systems can be used for the synthesis of a novel class of functionalized silsesquioxane derivatives.

This work presents the visible-light photocatalytic selective oxidation of thiols to disulfides with molecular oxygen (O2) on anatase TiO2. The high specific surface area of anatase TiO2 proved to be especially critical in

Pummerer rearrangement reactions generate sulfur (II) oxidation state from sulfur (IV) starting materials in the presence of activating reagents. We found unprecedented transformation of vinyl sulfoxide; disulfide formation reactions mediated by atmospheric pressure of carbon dioxide in extended Pummerer rearrangement reactions. Only under CO2 atmosphere, we observed moderate to high yields of disulfide starting from sulfur (IV) starting materials. Investigations on the reaction mechanism revealed that the degradation of the starting materials and the products was significant in the absence of CO2. Further evidence for the suggested reaction mechanism was obtained by a cross-over experiment and a radical trapping reagent.
