S-Acetylation of Thiols Mediated by Triflic Acid: A Novel Route to Thioesters
Kuciński, Krzysztof,Hreczycho, Grzegorz
, p. 489 - 493 (2018)
This paper demonstrates an efficient, mild, and chemoselective synthesis of various thioesters via a HOTf-catalyzed S-acetylation of aromatic and aliphatic thiols using isopropenyl acetate as a cheap and convenient acetylating agent. During our tests, we also investigated the differences between the activities of metal triflates and triflic acid as catalysts in the acetylation of thiols. Finally, the potential of our concept has been increased by the implementation of Nafion as a heterogeneous catalyst for S-acetylation of thiols.

An efficient and convenient strategy for the preparation of diaryl sulfides via a Fe-promoted direct sulfuracylation of 2-naphthylamine using thioesters as bifunctional reagents is described. This synthetic strategy features high chemoselectivity, good substrate scope and functional group tolerance. (Figure presented.).
