Abstract
A simple and efficient method for the preparation of α-arylthioethers through a visible-light-induced direct thiolation at α-C(sp(3))-H of ethers with diaryl disulfides was developed using acridine red as a novel photocatalyst. The reactions occurred at ambient conditions and generated the corresponding products in good to excellent yields, ignoring steric effect of disulfides.
