Abstract

Lately, both the scope and application of organosulfur chemistry have received considerable attention in synthetic or- ganic chemistry because sulfur-containing moieties serve as an important auxiliary function in synthetic sequences in organic chemistry. In addition, aryl sulfides are very useful intermediates in organic synthesis.2 Furthermore, aryl sulfides also find impor- tant applications as pharmaceuticals as many aryl sulfide con- taining compounds show significant ...
