Iodine-Promoted Disproportionate Coupling Reaction of Arylsulfonyl Hydrazides: A Simple and Green Access to Thiosulfonates

Abstract

An environmentally friendly iodine-promoted disproportionate coupling reaction of arylsulfonyl hydrazides is reported. This strategy can synthesize thiosulfonates with medium to excellent yields, and features a green system, wide applicability of substrates, and easy availability of raw materials. The preliminary mechanistic study reveals that iodine plays an important role in the radical reaction process.

Key words

disproportionate coupling reaction - arylsulfonyl hydrazide - thiosulfonate - green synthesis - iodine-promoted - radical reaction
