A highly efficient carbon-sulfur bond formation reaction via microwave-assisted nucleophilic substitution of thiols to polychloroalkanes without a transition-metal catalyst
An efficient carbon-sulfur bond formation reaction has been developed under microwave irradiation. This reaction affords a novel and rapid synthesis of thioacetals and sulfides under mild conditions. This method is particularly noteworthy given its experimental simplicity and high generality, and no transition-metal catalysts were need...
