Abstract
TAPC efficiently catalyzes the reaction of benzylic alcohols with aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl thiols to afford thioethers in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the reaction proceeds under metal-free and solvent-free conditions thus represents an interesting complement to known methods for thioether synthesis. A plausible mechanism is given.
