Abstract

Abstract Two new methods for the benzylation of thiols are described: a) direct S—alkylation with para-substituted benzylic cations; and b) reductive S—alkylations of 2-aminothiols. Both methods provide efficient routes for the introduction of benzyl-type protecting groups in high yields.
