Abstract

The general catalytic synthesis of aryl and vinyl thioethers from readily available halides remains a challenge. Herein we report a unified method for the thiolation of aryl and vinyl iodides with dialkyl disulfides using visible light photoredox catalysis. A range of thioether products bearing diverse functional groups can be accessed in high yield and with excellent chemoselectivity. We demonstrate the versatility of this method through the expedient synthesis of a family of thioether-rich natural products. A detailed investigation of the photocatalytic mechanism is presented from both steady-state and time-resolved luminescent quenching as well as transient absorption spectroscopy experiments.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 December 2018.
All research outputs
#3,160,804
of 25,756,911 outputs
Outputs from Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry
#247
of 6,872 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#66,662
of 452,073 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry
#10
of 351 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,756,911 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,872 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 452,073 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 351 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
