摘要
A facile and environmentally benign protocol for alkyl- and aryl-thioalkylation of olefins has been developed. Photoredox catalysis with an Ir photocatalyst, [Ir(dF(CF3)ppy)(2)(bpy)](PF6) (dF(CF3) ppy: 5-trifluoromethyl-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine, bpy: 2,2'-bipyridine), induces efficient oxidation of a variety of alkyl- and aryl-thioalkyltrifluoroborates under visible light irradiation at room temperature, leading to the generation of alpha-thioalkyl radicals via deboronation. The generated alpha-thioalkyl radicals smoothly react with electron-deficient olefins to afford addition products in good yields. The present photocatalytic method provides us with simple and new access to a range of alkylsulphides under mild reaction conditions.
