Visible‐Light‐Driven Thiol‐yne Reaction: A Practical Synthesis of (1,2‐diarylvinyl)(aryl/alkyl)sulfides

A mild, efficient and straightforward visible-light-driven method has been developed to construct 1,2-diarylvinyl sulfides under catalyst- and additive-free conditions. The formation of small amounts of thiyl radicals under visible light irradiation allows the synthesis of 1,2-diarylvinyl sulfides in good yield with an excellent functional group tolerance.
