What is Catalytic Hydrolysis of Thiolates to Alcohols about?

A new and efficient catalytic hydrolysis of aliphatic and aromatic thiolates under ambient conditions is presented. Previously, we have demonstrated (Ganguly et al., Inorg. Chem. 2018, 57, 11306-11309) the Co(II) mediated stoichiometric hydrolysis of thiols to produce alcohols/phenols along with a binuclear dicobalt(II)-hydrosulfide complex, [Co 2 (PhBIMP)(μ 2 -SH)(DMF)] 2+ (1) (PhBIMP is the anion of 2,6 bis[(bis((N-1methyl-4,5-diphenylimidazoylmethyl) amino)methyl]-4-methylphenol). In the present work, we have shown that the product of the stoichiometric reaction, 1, may act as an efficient catalyst for the catalytic hydrolysis of a broad range of aliphatic and aromatic thiolates in DMF at room temperature to produce alcohols/phenols. Complex 1 takes up a thiolate (RS -) and a water molecule to generate an active intermediate complex, [Co 2 (PhBIMP)(μ 2 -SH)(RS)(H 2 O)] 1+ (2), which, in turn, releases the alcohol/phenol (ROH), hydrosulfide (HS -), and regenerates 1.
