Abstract

Abstract : A novel ammonium iodide-induced sulfenylation method of flavones, indole and arylimidazo[1, 2- a ]pyridines using stable and odorless sodium benzenesulfinates as sulfur sources was developed, generating regioselective derivatives in good yields. Abstract : A novel ammonium iodide-induced sulfenylation method of flavones, indole and arylimidazo[1, 2- a ]pyridines using stable and odorless sodium benzenesulfinates as sulfur sources was developed, generating regioselective derivatives in good yields. This method has enriched current thioether-producing methods and provided a good example of using ammonium iodide as a reaction inducer instead of iodine to make thioethers under environmentally friendly and odorless conditions.
