Abstract

A catalytic method was developed to synthesize thiol esters from the reaction of acyl chlorides and thiols using zinc oxide as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. Mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, excellent yields of products and recyclability of the catalyst are noteworthy features of this methodology.
