Alkylation of Thiols in Green Mediums

Sulfides are very valuable and important compounds in the various fields especially in the synthesis of biological and pharmaceutical active materials. The alkylation of thiols is the most common strategy for the synthesis of thioethers. In recent years, a series of protocols was reported for the synthesis of thioethers via the S-alkylation of thiols in green mediums. In this paper, we focused on the reports presented from 2008 to 2014
