Iron-Catalyzed Synthesis of Thioesters from Thiols and Aldehydes in Water
摘要:
The preparation of thioesters through the iron-catalyzed coupling reaction of thiols with aldehydes is described. The reactions were carried out by using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant and water as a solvent in most cases. This system is compatible with a variety of functional groups.
