Abstract

Abstract: A metal-free, tetraethylammonium bromide-catalyzed oxidative coupling of aldehydes or alcohols with thiophenols or disulfides has been developed. This protocol affords an efficient and inexpensive approach to the synthesis of a wide range of thioesters in high yields. Keywords: metal-free conditions; oxidative coupling; tetraalkylammonium bromides; thioesterification
