Facile Access to Thioethers Using Sodium Thiosulfate as the Sulfur Surrogate under Base-Mediated Conditions

Key Points

• The aim is to create an efficient method for synthesizing thioethers using sodium thiosulfate.
• Developed a synthetic method for thioether formation from sodium thiosulfate and organic bromides.
• Used base-mediated conditions without transition metals and oxidants.
• Successfully produced thioethers with high efficiency under the proposed conditions.
