Abstract

A new and facile KI/K2S2O8-mediated α-C–H sulfenylation of carbonyl compounds with (hetero)aryl thiols was developed for the formation of C–S bond at room temperature. This method provided a simple process for the synthesis of β-keto thioethers in moderate to excellent yields. A variety of carbonyl compounds and (hetero)aryl thiols were tolerated in this reaction.
