Nanolayered cobalt-molybdenum sulphide (Co-Mo-S) materials have been established as excellent catalysts for C-S bond construction. These catalysts allow for the preparation of a broad range of thioethers in good to excellent yields from structurally diverse thiols and readily available primary as well as secondary alcohols. Chemoselectivity in the presence of sensitive groups such as double bonds, nitriles, carboxylic esters and halogens has been demonstrated. It is also shown that the reaction takes place through a hydrogen-autotransfer (borrowing hydrogen) mechanism that involves Co-Mo-S-mediated dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions. A novel catalytic protocol based on the thioetherification of alcohols with hydrogen sulphide (H2S) to furnish symmetrical thioethers has also been developed using these earth-abundant metal-based sulphide catalysts.

Alcohols can be efficiently converted into the useful thioethers by a transition metal- and base-free dehydrative S-alkylation reaction with thiols or disulfides by employing alkyl halides as the effective catalyst. This simple and efficient method is a green and practical way for the preparation of thioethers, as it tolerates a wide range of substrates such as aryl and alkyl thiols, as well as benzylic, allylic, secondary, tertiary, and even the less reactive aliphatic alcohols.
Visible-Light-Mediated Thiol-Ene Reactions through Organic Photoredox Catalysis

Synthetically useful radical thiol-ene reactions can be initiated by visible-light irradiation in the presence of an organic photocatalyst, 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinum tetrafluoroborate. The key thiyl radical intermediates are generated upon quenching of
