Thioacetate deprotection

A method of thioacetate deprotection by providing a compound of the formula R1—S—CO—R2, and reacting the compound with a quaternary ammonium cyanide salt in the presence of a protic solvent in an inert atmosphere to convert the compound to a product of the formula R1—SH. R1 is an organic group in which the bonding to sulfur is through a saturated carbon, and R2 is an aliphatic group.

One pot rapid synthesis of thiols from alcohols under mild conditions

Thiols are prepared in high yields from corresponding alcohols using Ph3P, NBS in acetone and followed by addition of polymer supported hydrosulfide under mild condition.
