title: Ga(OTf)3-catalyzed direct substitution of alcohols with sulfur nucleophiles.
abstract: It is reported that Ga(OTf)(3) catalyzes the direct displacement of alcohols with sulfur nucleophiles. The products are versatile intermediates that can be utilized in carbon-carbon, carbon-sulfur bond formation or used in modified Julia olefination reactions. The only byproduct generated is water.
