Abstract

Thiols are important not only for their use in the synthesis of organosulfur compounds but also for their roles in cell biochemistry. Therefore, many synthetic methods have been developed.2,3 Although direct preparations of thiols from alkyl halides and metal sulfides would be straightforward, direct methods give only a moderate yield of thiols accompanying a considerable amount of dialkyl sulfide.2 Therefore, indirect methods involving thiourea,2 xanthate2 and ...
