Abstract
Described herein is a catalytic system composed of an indium(III) compound, a hydrosilane and an easily handled form of elemental sulfur (S8) that effectively and directly catalyzes the sulfidation of dibenzyl ethers to produce dibenzyl sulfides. This system could also be applied to selenium in a straightforward conversion to dibenzyl selenides.
