Visible-light photoredox catalyzed thioesterification of sulfoxonium ylides with elemental sulfur and α-ketoacids.

An efficient strategy for the construction of α-keto thioesters has been developed via photocatalytic one-pot three-component reaction of sulfoxonium ylides with elemental sulfur and α-ketoacids. The reaction proceeded smoothly at room temperature us…
