Type Article
Keywords

Abstract
A novel light-driven strategy for efficient C–S bond formation has been developed using a Cu₂O/THPP nanocatalyst. Operated under ambient conditions and white LED irradiation, this method enables the smooth conversion of carboxylic acids or aldehydes into thioethers in high yields via disulfide activation. This radical-mediated transformation offers a green, selective, and practical approach for the synthesis of bioactive sulfur-containing compounds, underscoring its strong potential in sustainable organic synthesis.
