Visible-light-promoted hydroxysulfenylation of alkenes for the synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides.

Herein, we report a regioselective, visible-light-activated and base-catalyzed difunctionalized strategy for the preparation of β-hydroxysulfides from alkenes, thiols, and molecular oxygen (O2). This one-pot, metal- and photocatalyst-free transformat…
