2-Naphthyl sulfide

Allyl Heptalluoro-2-naphthyl Sulfide (9) and 2,6-Bi (allyl ulfanyl)hexalluoronaphthalene (10) Typical Procedure ... 

Aryl halides containing less reactive halogen can also be converted into sulfides by thiols if heavy-metal (lead, zinc, mercury) thiols are used at 225-230° 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl sulfide,301 1- and 2-naphthyl phenyl sulfide,302 and 1-and 2-naphthyl o-, m-, and p-tolyl sulfide303 have been obtained in this way. When the heavy-metal thiolates are too stable and do not react with aryl bromides even at 240°, the aryl sulfides can nevertheless often be prepared by a generally applicable reaction of aryl iodides with sodium thiolates under the influence of copper as catalyst.304... 

Methyl (99%) and ethyl 2-naphthyl sulfide (68%), (2-naphthylthio)acetic acid (87%), and 2-naphthyl phenyl sulfide (43%) have been prepared by the same method. 

In redox reactions, isolated oxidative enzymes such as laccase C from Trametes and horseradish/soybean peroxidases (with mediators) have been shown to possess good catalytic activity in common ILs on syringaldizine and veratryl alcohol, respectively [35]. Recently, oxidase-peroxidase-catalyzed chemo- and stereoselective sulfoxidations of thioanisole and methyl-2-naphthyl sulfide have been successfully carried out with a system of Coprinus cinereus (CiP) peroxidase and Aspergillus niger glucose oxidase (GOD) in 10% water in [BMIM][PF6] (Scheme 2). An enantiomeric...
