Photoexcited sulfenylation of C(sp3)-H bonds in amides using thiosulfonates

Org Biomol Chem. 2022 May 18;20(19):3902-3906. doi: 10.1039/d2ob00557c.

Abstract

A photoexcited sulfenylation of C(sp3)-H bonds in amides is developed for the synthesis of sulfenyl amides using thiosulfonates as a sulfur source. In the presence of easily available and inexpensive Na2-eosin Y, TBHP and K2CO3, various sulfenyl amides can be obtained under the irradiation of blue light at room temperature.
