Abstract

Abstract : A catalyst- and additive-free, visible-light-promoted S–H insertion reaction between thiols and α-diazoesters has been developed under mild conditions. Abstract : A visible-light-promoted S–H insertion reaction between thiols and α-diazoesters was developed. The reaction proceeded smoothly at room temperature with a broad substrate scope, affording various thioethers in moderate to excellent yields. The catalyst- and additive-free nature, sustainable energy source and mild reaction conditions make this strategy more eco-friendly.
