Abstract
A convenient and efficient procedure for the synthesis of β‐alkyl/arylsulfanyl carbonyl compounds has been developed by a simple one‐pot reaction of dialkyl/diaryl sulfides with α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic esters, and nitriles in presence of indium and trimethylsilyl chloride under sonication.
