Polysulfide synthesis via visible-light-induced heteroarene-migratory dithiosulfonylation reaction

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Jun 8;59(47):7247-7250. doi: 10.1039/d3cc01994b.

Abstract

A photocatalyzed heteroarene-migratory dithiosulfonylation of alkene-tethered sulfone using dithiosulfonate (ArSO2-SSR) has been reported, featuring mild conditions, and high atom economy. The resulting products can be converted into dihydrothiophenes and homoallyl disulfides, making the method highly valuable.
