Iodine-Mediated Thiolation of Substituted Naphthols/Naphthylamines and Arylsulfonyl Hydrazides via C(sp²)–H Bond Functionalization

Abstract

A direct method has been developed for iodine-mediated thiolation of naphthols/naphthylamines and arylsulfonyl hydrazides through the formation of C-S bond and cleavage of S-N/S-O bonds. In this transformation, a range of valuable thioethers are easily achieved in moderate to good yields.
