| Authors: | Xuebin Zhu Yan Shi Haibin Mao Yixiang Cheng Chengjian Zhu |
| Abstract: | A metal‐free, tetraethylammonium bromide‐catalyzed oxidative coupling of aldehydes or alcohols with thiophenols or disulfides has been developed. This protocol affords an efficient and inexpensive approach to the synthesis of a wide range of thioesters in high yields.  |
