Direct hydrogenation of thioesters with H2 provides a facile and waste-free method to access alcohols and thiols. However, no report of this reaction is documented, possibly because of the incompatibility of the generated thiol with typical hydrogenation catalysts. Here, we report an efficient and selective hydrogenation of thioesters. The reaction is catalyzed by an acridine-based ruthenium complex

Thiostannanes are obtained by treating alkoxystannanes with thiol acetates. Coupled with this reaction, the thiostannane methodology enables one-pot synthesis of disulfides from thiol acetate.
