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.

Efficient Generation of C–S Bonds via a By-Product-Promoted Selective Coupling of Alcohols, Organic Halides, and Thiourea

A metal- and base-free three-component coupling of alcohols, heteroaryl halides, and thiourea has been developed for direct and selective synthesis of heteroaryl thioethers. This method can be easily scaled up to the gram scale and extended to dialkyl thioethers, heteroaryl selenides, benzothiazoles, and some antimycobacterially-active thioethers. Mechanistic studies revealed that a by-product-promoted in situ C–O activation of alcohols to more reactive alkyl halides and slow release of the thiol and alkyl halide intermediates are the key to the high selectivity and success of the reaction.

Visible-Light-Mediated Thiol-Ene Reactions through Organic Photoredox Catalysis

Synthetically useful radical thiol-ene reactions can be initiated by visible-light irradiation in the presence of an organic photocatalyst, 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinum tetrafluoroborate. The key thiyl radical intermediates are generated upon quenching of
