title: Synthesis of thioethers via metal-free reductive coupling of tosylhydrazones with thiols.
abstract: A metal-free procedure for the synthesis of thioethers is described via the base-promoted reductive coupling of tosylhydrazones with thiols through an insertion of a carbene into the S-H bond.
