The direction of reactions of acetyl iodide with aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic thiols is determined by the thiol acidity and steric factors. Acetyl iodide reacted with aliphatic thiols, including trialkylsilyl-substituted derivatives R(CH2)(n)SH (R = Me, n = 3; R = Me3Si, n = 3; R = Et3Si, n = 2), to give the corresponding ethanethioates R(CH2)(n)SCOMe. Benzenethiol was oxidized with acetyl iodide to diphenyl disulfide. The reaction of acetyl iodide with 2-sulfanylethanol afforded 2-(2-iodoethyldisulfanyl)ethyl acetate as a result of three consecutive-parallel processes: acylation, iodination, and oxidation of the initial compound. 1,3-Benzothiazole-2-thiol reacted with acetyl iodide only at the nitrogen atom to give quaternary salt, whereas the SH group remained intact.
