Abstract

A visible light-promoted and tertiary-amine-assisted hydroxysulfenylation of both electron-rich and electron-deficient alkenes with thiophenols provides β-hydroxysulfides in very good yields. This simple and sustainable approach features mild reaction conditions, high efficiency, and excellent functional group tolerance.
