Direct synthesis of thiosulfonic S-esters from sulfonic acids using cyanuric chloride under mild conditionsdirect synthesis of thiosulfonic s-esters

Abstract

A simple, practical method has been developed for the direct synthesis of thiosulfonic S-esters from sulfonic acids and thiols using cyanuric chloride. Good product yields obtained under mild reaction conditions are an important feature of this methodology.
