Dithiocarbamic acids and thiols are employed in the Bargellini reaction to generate useful intermediates for the synthesis of organic molecules. This is the first time that dithiocarbamic acids are used as nucleophile in this reaction  

A simple, rapid, and highly efficient method for the preparation of symmetrical aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic disulfides is reported. Addition of NBS to an alkyl- or arylthiol under catalyst-free conditions in dichloromethane solution produces the corresponding disulfides in nearly quantitative yields  

An environmentally benign and efficient process for the preparation of β-hydroxysulfides was developed by a practical and simple reaction of thiols with epoxides in water catalyzed by K2CO3 in high yields and short reaction times  

The efficient oxidative coupling of thiols to disulfides with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) at room temperature is described. Simple workup, economical method, high yields of products are some advantages of this method. © 2006 Taylor & Francis  

Kieselguhr supported copper chloride catalyses the oxidation of thiols to disulfides in the presence of oxygen or air  

A mixture of cobalt(II) and manganese(II) salts of 4-aminobenzoic acid supported on silica gel catalyses the oxidation of thiols to disulfides in the presence of oxygen or air  

A simple, rapid, atom economy and highly efficient procedure has been developed for thiolysis of epoxides by aromatic and aliphatic thiols under solvent-free conditions. A high regioselectivity in favor of nucleophilic attack at the benzylic carbon atom of aromatic epoxides, such as styrene oxide, is observed. However, aliphatic unsymmetrical alkenyl oxides undergo selective nucleophilic attack at the sterically less hindered carbon atom. A variety of β-hydroxy sulfides were obtained in short reaction time and excellent yields with nearly complete regioselectivity  

The present investigation demonstrates the effective removal of Hg(II) ions from aqueous solution by means of thiol-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (TF-MNPs). After preparation, TF-MNPs have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric (TG) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD and FESEM analyses revealed the presence of magnetic nanoparticles with an average particle size of 15–30 nm. The result of FT-IR analysis confirmed that the magnetite nanoparticles have been successfully functionalized by thiol groups. The particles illustrated enough response...

A simple, efficient, and general synthetic strategy has been developed for the synthesis of Michael adducts in the presence of solid lithium perchlorate under solvent-free conditions. Nucleophilic addition of thiols and indoles gave the corresponding Michael adducts in high yields. © 2005 Taylor & Francis  

A manganese(III) complex, [Mn(phox)2(CH3OH) 2]ClO4 (phox = 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)oxazoline), was immobilized on silica-coated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles through the amino propyl linkage using a grafting process in dichloromethane. The resulting Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2@Mn(III) nanoparticles are used as efficient and recyclable catalysts for selective oxidation of thiols to disulfides using urea-hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. The nanocatalyst was recycled several times. Leaching and recycling experiments revealed that the nanocatalyst can be recovered, recycled, and reused more than five times, without the loss of catalytic activity and magnetic properties. The recycling of the nanocatalyst in six... 

Supported iron oxide nanoparticles are found to be efficient and recoverable catalyst in the selective oxidation of thiols to their corresponding disulfides using hydrogen peroxide as green oxidant at room temperature. The protocol features an easy work-up, simplicity and the utilizing mild reaction conditions, as well as high selectivity toward disulfides, are highly advantageous compared to alternative reported methodologies. The supported iron oxide nanoparticles could be easily recovered and reused several times without any loss of activity. ICP-MS results prove that there is no metal leaching observed, and demonstrating the stability of the catalyst under the reaction conditions  

Nitroamines and nitrothiols were synthesized in high yields by the Michael addition of amines and thiols to nitroolefins without using any catalyst. Also, the reaction of amines with dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate (DMAD) in water afforded the corresponding enamines. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved  

Potassium fluoride supported on alumina efficiently catalyzes Michael addition of aromatic and aliphatic thiols to a variety of conjugated alkenes such as α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, carboxylic esters, amides, nitriles and chalcones.

In the present paper, new H2S gasochromic nanomaterial of mixed silver nickel ammonium phosphomolybdate synthesized by microwave assisted technique is reported. The microwave treatment was performed in the solid phase using urea and ammonium nitrate as the promoter and oxidizer agents. The designed process allows rapid synthesis of large amounts of this product in nanosized particulate morphology. Morphological and structural features of the prepared products were studied in detail. Chemical analyses indicated a stoichiometry of (NH4)0.5Ni0.75AgPMo12O40·4H2O revealing a Keggin-type framework with substitution of silver and nickel cations in its secondary structure. A home-made set-up was... 

We report a density functional non-equilibrium Green's function study of electrical transport in a single molecular conductor consisting of an ethane-dithiolate (C2H4S2) molecular wire with two sulfur end groups bonded to the Au(1 1 1) electrodes. We show that the current was increased by increasing the external voltage biases. The projected density of states (PDOS) and transmission coefficients T(E) under various external voltage biases are analyzed, and it suggests that the variation of the coupling between the molecule and the electrodes with external bias leads to the increase of the current. Furthermore, the investigation of the transport properties of the pentane-dithiolate (C5H10S2)...
