Abstract
Readily available triethylammonium thiolates were proven to be new and eco-friendly sulfenylating agents for the efficient and practical construction of sulfenylated indoles and pyrroles (48 examples) with good to excellent yields under metal-free and microwave irradiation conditions. The combination of I2 and DMSO enabled direct C-S bond formation, allowing easy and low-cost access to new functionalized C,S-tethered bisindoles and pyrrole-indole pairs with a wide diversity of substituents. The mechanism involving S-S and S-I bond-forming/breaking events was proposed.
