One small remark: the functional group R-S-R is called sulfide (with its own name). The name thioethers (as derivatives of ethers) was abandoned more than 25 years ago. If you want to have a neat website, stop using the old term “thioether”. Maybe you can mention “in the old nomenclature…”.

I can’t really answer this question because it is not very precise.
– Which thiol radical?
– What extreme conditions?
– What is meant by extreme oxidation?
– On what substrates?
Do you have an example?

Yes, possibly, but if there are any traces of oxygen present, disulfides will form.

My suggestion would be to just bite the bullet and selectively protect either the hydroxy or thiol groups. Protection and deprotection are two steps that almost always yield near quantitative yields. It lets you focus on the chemistry you want to do without worrying about functional group compatibility.

Thanks,

Thanks for mentioning that. Yes, not covered here.

Not 100% sure, but, copper does form strong complexes with thiols and thioethers.

Yes, of course.
