Abstract

A metal-free cleavage of diphenyl disulfide and diphenyl diselenide has been achieved using ionic liquid/triphenyl phosphine (PPh3) and a convenient protocol for the one-pot synthesis of unsymmetrical sulfides and selenides by condensing 'in situ'generated thiolate or selenate anion with alkyl halides has been developed. In addition, 1, 4-conjugate addition of the generated thiolate anions to activated alkenes has also been demonstrated. The ...
