α-Keton sulfides are versatile building blocks in organic synthesis. From thioic acids and alkenes, we were able to develop the direct synthesis of α-keton thiol esters via photocatalytic oxidative radical additions. This reaction well matches the idea of green chemistry. It takes the advantage of thioxanthone as an inexpensive organic photocatalyst, O as a green oxidant, EtOAc as a green solvent, and visible light as a sustainable energy source, and the only byproduct is water.
α-酮硫醚是有机合成中用途广泛的构建模块。通过硫代羧酸和烯烃,我们能够通过光催化氧化自由基加成直接合成α-酮硫醇酯。该反应很好地符合绿色化学的理念。它利用硫杂蒽酮作为廉价的有机光催化剂,O 作为绿色氧化剂,EtOAc 作为绿色溶剂,可见光作为可持续的能源,唯一的副产物是水。
