Abstract

Interesting sulfur compounds such as monosulfides, symmetrical disulfides, unsymmetrical disulfides, and other 1,3-bifunctionalized compounds were synthesized using benzyltriethylammonium tetrathiomolybdate, [BnNEt3]2MoS4, as the sulfur transfer reagent via regioselective ring opening of donor–acceptor cyclopropanes without the addition of any catalyst.
