Abstract

Arenesulfonic acids, their sodium salts, and alkyl arenesulfonates can be reduced readily to the corresponding arenethiols quantitatively by treatment with a mixture of triphenylphosphine and a catalytic amount of iodine, while alkanesulfonic acids, sulfinic acids, disulfides, thiosulfonic testers, and sulfonates are also readily reduced to the corresponding thiols similarly. Upon treatment with a mixture of triphenylphosphine and ...
