CHEMO SELECTIVE, ROOM TEMPERATURE AND SOLVENT FREE SYNTHESIS OF THIO-ESTERS USING EFFECTIVE SYNERGISTIC CATALYTIC SYSTEM.

A simple and highly efficient room temperature catalytic protocol was developed towards the synthesis of thioesters from thiols and acyl chlorides under solvent-free conditions. Ambient reaction conditions, shorter reaction time, excellent product yields are notable features of this methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
