The radical addition of thiols to alkenes is reported under photoredox conditions, using visible light and TiO2 as a cheap and readily available photocatalyst.
Visible Light Promoted Thiol-Ene Reactions Using Titanium Dioxide. -The applied titanium dioxide is titania P25 nanoparticles. A small background reaction with ambient light can be observed. -(BHAT, V. T.; DUSPARA, P. A.; SEO, S.; ABU BAKAR, N. S. B.; GREANEY*, M. F.; Chem. Commun.
