Reduction of Miscellaneous Sulfur-Containing Compounds

Et3SiH/TFA reduces disulfides to the corresponding mercaptans in modest yields (Eq. 340).564 Naphthyl thio ethers are reduced in rather poor yields to tetrahydronaphthalene with the combination EtjSiH/HF -OfE (Eq. 341).263 There is one report of the reduction of a diaryl sulfide to the hydrocarbon but the yield 

The reduction of 2,2/-dithiobis(l,3-dithiolanium) bis(tetrafluoroborate) to the thiocarbonate compound by triethylsilane takes place quantitatively (Eq. 343).565
