One-pot synthetic method of allyl sulfides: Samarium-induced allyl bromide mediated reduction of alkyl thiocyanates and diaryl disulfides in methanolic medium
A convenient synthetic method of allyl sulfides by the treatment of alkyl thiocyanates or diaryl disulfides with Sm and allyl bromide in methanol has been developed.
