Abstract
A green electrochemical oxidative cross-coupling protocol for the generation of thiosulfonates and sulfonate esters using sodium arenesulfinates and thiophenols/phenols is disclosed. The protocol involves using inorganic and non-toxic NaI as both redox catalyst and supporting electrolyte at room temperature without oxidant and base. The reactions provide good yields of products and tolerate broad substrate scope. The mechanistic studies revealed that the reactions proceed via a radical pathway for the formation of SO2–S and SO2–O bonds.
