ChemInform Abstract: A Facile One‐pot Synthesis of Sulfides from Alkyl Halides and Alcohols Using Tetramethylthiourea.

Abstract

The reaction of the thiourea (I) with the halides (II), followed by reaction of the resulting thiouronium salts with the alcohols (III) in the presence of NaH leads to the sulfides (IV) in fair to good yields.
