  • Title: Reductive desulfurization of allylic thiols by HS-/H2S in water gives clue to chemical reactions widespread in natural environments.
    Author: Hebting Y, Adam P, Albrecht P.
    Journal: Org Lett; 2003 May 01; 5(9):1571-4. PubMed ID: 12713326.
    Abstract:
    The reduction of allylic thiols to alkenes by hydrogen sulfide in aqueous solutions, a novel reaction that may explain reduction processes widely occurring in natural environments, has been discovered. Its mechanism has been studied and suggested to follow an S(RN)1-like pathway involving radical intermediates undergoing 1,4 hydrogen shifts. [reaction: see text]
