On-water accelerated sulfenylation of indole derivatives under visible light irradiation

Abstract

A visible-light promoted sulfenylation of N-carboxyindoles with thiols showed substantially higher rate and selectivity when conducted “on water”. An EDA complex was proposed to form at the water–oil interface, generating thiyl radicals and thus initiating a chain reaction.
