Abstract

AbstractAn easily accessible and inexpensive room temperature ionic liquid, 1‐pentyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide, [pmIm]Br efficiently catalyzes the reaction of alkyl halides or acyl halides with thiols without any solvent at room temperature leading to the synthesis of thioethers and thioesters in high yields. This reaction has also been extended for the preparation of dithianes and transthioetherification. The ionic liquid is recovered and recycled for subsequent runs.
