Abstract
Stable and easy-to-handle sodium salts of sulfonyl oximes were first identified to proceed via visible-light-driven phophine-mediated successive deoxygenation to realize the anti-Markovnikov hydrothiolation of alkenes, which could serve as an odorless sulfur source. Mechanistic studies revealed that the key thiyl radical intermediate could be generated insitu from the sulfonyl oxime anion via a phosphine-mediated fragmentation and a sequential deoxygenation process. Notably, a wide range of alkenes, including acrylamides, acrylates, vinyl ketones, vinyl sulfones, and acrylonitriles, are competent substrates for this protocol, which is highly beneficial for the construction of structurally diversified organosulfur compounds.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
