Thione-thiol rearrangement: Miyazaki-Newman-Kwart rearrangement and others

Abstract

Thione-to-thiol rearrangements represent a general route for the synthesis of sulfur compounds from hydroxyl functionalities. In particular, the Miyazaki-Newman-Kwart rearrangement has been widely used for the synthesis of aromatic thiols from the corresponding phenols. © Springer-Verlag 2006.
