Abstract

A strategy has been developed for constructing sulfenylated 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans and β-acetoxy sulfides through NaI/DMSO-­mediated oxysulfenylation of alkenes with environmentally friendly thiosulfates. The reactions involve simple operations and give a series of sulfenylated 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans or β-acetoxy sulfides in moderate to good yields.
