Direct Activation of Sulfides by C–H Oxidation with Photoexcited Nitroarenes: Formal Manipulations of the C─S Bond
——Green Pharmaceutical Team—— Starfish Review 【Background】The thioether group is widely present in functional materials, drug molecules (such as Montelukast and Diltiazem), and ligand design, but its chemical inertness limits its synthetic applications. Traditional activation of sulfides relies on direct oxidation of sulfur atoms (to form sulfoxides/sulfones), facing bottlenecks such as poor chemical selectivity (prone to … Read more
