Thiourea-Mediated Regioselective Synthesis of Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Diversified Thioethers
An efficient and simple thiourea-mediated regioselective synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical diversified thioethers is reported. The regioselective reaction avoids byproduct formation and offers simplified methodology, wider applicability, and easy workability and an environmentally friendly approach toward symmetrical and unsymmetrical thioethers. The mechanism of formation of thiols and symmetrical and unsymmetrical thioethers involving a sulfur surrogate is described.
