Abstract

The Michael addition of thiols to p-quinones proceeds efficiently in water at room temperature without a catalyst. Significant rate acceleration of this reaction is observed in water compared to organic solvents. Water played a dual role in simultaneously activating the quinones and thiols. This new methodology constitutes an easy, highly efficient and green synthesis of diaryl sulfides and aryl alkyl sulfides.
