Abstract

Vinyl sulfides and vinyl sulfones are ubiquitous structures in organic chemistry because of their presence in natural and biologically active compounds and are very frequently encountered structural motifs in organic synthesis. Herein we report an efficient synthesis of vinyl sulfides and vinyl sulfones via transition metal-free sodium iodide-mediated sulfenylation of alcohols and sulfinic acids with solvent-controlled selectivity.
