Chemoselective Alkylation of Thiols: A Detailed Investigation of Reactions of Thiols with Halides
摘要:
Arylthiols, aralkylthiols and alkane thiols can be readily alkylated by alkyl/aralkyl halides in presence of K2CO3/DMF to yield unsymmetrical sulphides in nearly quantitative yields. 2-Mercaptoethanol gave the thioether chemoselectively.
