Here, the development of a visible light-mediated direct decarboxylative thiolation reaction of alkyl redox-active esters to free thiols based on the abundant carboxylic acid feedstock was reported. This transformation was applicable to various carboxylic acids, including primary, secondary and tertiary acids as well as natural products and drugs, forging a general and facile access to free thiols with diverse structures. Moreover, the direct access to free thiols afforded an advantage of rapid in situ diversification with high efficiency to other important thiol derivatives such as sulfide, disulfide, thiocyanide, thioselenide, etc. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7Application In Synthesis of 1,2-Diphenyldisulfane)
1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7) belongs to ethers. Ethers lack the hydroxyl groups of alcohols. Application In Synthesis of 1,2-Diphenyldisulfane Without the strongly polarized O―H bond, ether molecules cannot engage in hydrogen bonding with each other.
