Polysulfuration via a Bilateral Thiamine Disulfurating Reagent
Jiahui Xue, Xuefeng Jiang
Abstract
An efficient moduling disulfuration was developed for polysulfide construction via a bilateral six-membered thiamine disulfurating reagent. Under the control of energy release of ring strain, diverse unsymmetrical trisulfides and tetrasulfides were generated through the assembly of nucleophiles on both sides of the sulfur-sulfur motif. This strategy exhibits features of high efficiency, mild conditions, and general scope.
