Synthesis of Thioethers Using Triethylamine-Activated Phosphorus Decasulfide (P₄S₁₀)

Abstract

The synthesis of thioethers in excellent yields was achieved under mild conditions via the displacement reaction of halogens by sulfur. The cross-reaction of 2-(α-bromoacetyl)thiophene with triethylamine-activated phosphorus decasulfide (Et₃N–P₂S₅) was elaborated by utilizing DFT calculations.

Key words

thioethers - phosphorus decasulfide - triethylamine activation - DFT - mechanism
