Microwave-assisted desulfurization of significant biologically active compounds by Raney nickel

Microwave-assisted desulfurization reaction, which has the advantages of fast speed and high yields, has become one of the most efficient desulfurization methods. It will be used more and more extensively in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. In this paper, a series of significant biologically active molecules were prepared by microwave-assisted reduction of the corresponding phenylthio substituted precursors by Raney nickel using ethanol as solvent.
