A new protocol was developed to synthesize (enantioenriched) thioethers and selenoethers from (chiral) benzylic trimethylammonium salts and di(hetero)aryl disulfides or diselenides. These syntheses were promoted by the presence of weak base and did not require the use of any transition metal, and resulted in the target products with good to excellent yields (72-94%). Using quaternary ammonium salts synthesized from enantiomerically enriched amines led to highly enantiopure benzylic thioethers and selenoethers (94-99% ee) with configurations reversed from those of their enantioenriched quaternary ammonium salts.

A site-selective metal-free dealkylative approach to synthesize aryl alkyl and symmetrical dialkyl sulfides has been developed. This procedure is convenient and has wide functional group tolerance giving rise to sulfides carrying various alkyl chains from simple alkyl sulfides and alkyl halides in good to excellent yields. This transalkylation proceeds by an ionic mechanism via sulfonium intermediates and it was proposed that dimethylacetamide (DMAC) may participate in part to promote the reaction.

Newly discovered boryl sulfides and N-borylthioamides are shown to serve as neutral sources of sulfur nucleophiles in substitutions reactions. For example, heating of diMe-Imd-BH(SPh)2 with benzyl bromides, primary bromides, or acid chlorides provides the corresponding thioethers or thioesters in high yields. Likewise, N-phenyltetrazole thioethers/esters are made from a readily available N-borylthionotetrazole. The formation of the boryl sulfide and its onward nucleophilic substitution can be telescoped down to a one-pot reaction whose components are an NHC-borane (NHC-BH3), a disulfide, and an electrophile.
