| Abstract: | An efficient and novel method for the thioetherification of an alcohol with disulfides or NaSH under microwave irradiation is presented. In the presence of iodine, a variety of alcohols were smoothly S‐alkylated with disulfides or NaSH to give the corresponding thioethers in moderate to excellent yields. |
