Abstract | Cited by

A light-triggered synthesis of thio-functionalized pyridines is demonstrated using γ-ketodinitriles, thiols, and eosin Y as the photocatalyst. The reaction proceeds via the selective attack on one of the cyano groups by an in situ generated thiyl radical. The reaction also proceeds with nearly equal efficiency using direct sunlight. Large-scale synthesis and a few useful synthetic transformations of the substituted pyridines are also performed.
