This review summarizes the more recent methods for the synthesis of thioethers using homogeneous metals as catalysts. The thioether moiety can be found in numerous compounds for pharmaceutical, agricultural or material applications and it is therefore important to develop new, efficient methods for their synthesis. The recent efforts in this field focus on the use of non-precious metal catalysts, as well as on the development of new bond-forming processes.

Recent Metal-Catalyzed Methods for Thioether Synthesis

Electrochemical Synthesis of Dibenzothiophenes via Intramolecular C-S Cyclization with a Halogen Mediator.

Enantioselective iridium-catalyzed allylation of sodium benzotriazolide: an efficient way to chiral allylbenzotriazoles

A highly enantioselective cascade reaction of benzotriazoles with nitroolefin-containing enonates catalyzed by a base/acid bifunctional organocatalyst has been developed. This cascade sequence affo...

Enantioselective Synthesis of Chromans with a Quaternary Stereogenic Centre through Catalytic Asymmetric Cascade Reactions

Enantioselective Palladium‐Catalyzed Allylic Substitution of Sodium Benzotriazolide

Enantioselective Conjugate Addition of N-Heterocycles to α,β-Enones Mediated by Diarylprolinols

A series of C 3 -symmetric triprolinamide catalysts based on triphenyl- and tribenzylphosphine oxide has been developed to catalyze the direct asymmetric aldol reaction of aromatic aldehydes and cyclohexanone. Under the optimal conditions, high isolated yield (up to 96%), diastereoselectivities (up to 88:12) and enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee) were obtained.
