Abstract

A concise thiolation of the C(sp3)-H bond of cycloalkanes with diaryl disulfides in the presence of the oxidant di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) has been developed. This reaction, without using any metal catalyst, tolerates varieties of disulfides and cycloalkanes substrates, giving good to excellent chemical yields, and thus provides a useful approach to cycloalkyl aryl sulfides from unactivated cycloalkanes.
