Abstract:Here we present a catalyst‐free protocol for the purple light‐mediated anti‐Markovnikov functionalization of alkenes with thiols. Crucial to the generation of the thiyl radical was the formation of a key photo‐active complex. More than 30 thioether products were obtained, demonstrating tolerance towards different functional groups and scalability up to 5 mmol of alkene. Two different reaction conditions have been developed, varying both the solvent and the amount of thiol. Depending on the alkene structure, wa… Show more
