ChemInform Abstract: Reductive Thiolation of Aromatic Ketones and Benzaldehyde with Sulfur, Carbon Monoxide and Water Leading to Thiols.
Abstract
Reductive sulfurization of the aromatic carbonyl compounds (I) to give the corresponding thiols (II) is achieved by treatment with sulfur, carbon monoxide, and water in the presence of DBU.
