Sorribes, Ivan; Corma, Avelino published an article in 2019, the title of the article was Nanolayered cobalt-molybdenum sulphides (Co-Mo-S) catalyse borrowing hydrogen C-S bond formation reactions of thiols or H2S with alcohols.Formula: C13H11BrS And the article contains the following content:
Nanolayered cobalt-molybdenum sulfide (Co-Mo-S) materials have been established as excellent catalysts for C-S bond construction. These catalysts allow for the preparation of a broad range of thioethers in good to excellent yields from structurally diverse thiols and readily available primary as well as secondary alcs. Chemoselectivity in the presence of sensitive groups such as double bonds, nitriles, carboxylic esters and halogens has been demonstrated. It is also shown that the reaction takes place through a hydrogen-autotransfer (borrowing hydrogen) mechanism that involves Co-Mo-S-mediated dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions. A novel catalytic protocol based on the thioetherification of alcs. with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to furnish sym. thioethers has also been developed using these earth-abundant metal-based sulfide catalysts. The experimental process involved the reaction of Benzyl(4-bromophenyl)sulfane(cas: 53136-21-3).Formula: C13H11BrS
