Tin‐Free Radical Carbonylation: Thiol Ester Synthesis Using Alkyl Allyl Sulfone Precursors, Phenyl Benzenethiosulfonate, and CO

Abstract

Remove contents from tin …︁ Thiol esters have been successfully synthesized through tin-free radical carbonylation (see scheme; V-40=initiator). This approach can be further extended to sequential radical reactions involving cyclization, carbonylation, and trapping of acyl radicals by phenyl benzenethiosulfonate.
