Abstract

Abstract A convenient and efficient procedure for the synthesis of β??alkyl/arylsulfanyl carbonyl compounds has been developed by a simple one??pot reaction of dialkyl/diaryl sulfides with α, β??unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic esters, and nitriles in presence of indium and trimethylsilyl chloride under sonication.
