✦ Synopsis

Preparation of Thioethers Using S N 1-Active Halides and Zinc Mercaptides.

-A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of thioethers (III) (14 examples) based on the reaction of in situ prepared zinc mercaptides with various halides is given. Scope and limitations of these thioether syntheses are established. The method is particularly useful for the preparation of thioethers with at least one bulky alkyl group. -(SRINIVAS, S.; SRINIVAS,
