Abstract
Herein, visible-light-driven radical-radical cross-coupling for the construction of C(sp3)-S bond to afford various cyanoalkyl thioethers through EDA complex promoted C-C and C-H bond cleavage is described. The photoactivation of a transiently assembled chromophore between thiolate anions and cycloketone oxime esters is critical to the generation of C(sp3)-S bond. Notably, we also realize the in situ formed EDA complex-mediated 1,3-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) to construct diverse thioethers under transtion-metal- and photocatalyst-free conditions. This synthetic method features easily available substrates, wide substrate scope, and mild reaction conditions, which has potential to be used for the preparation of valuable sulfides.
