Abstract

Cyanodithioformate salt as an odorless and simply operational source of sulfur was reacted with aryl halides in the presence of copper iodide, affording diaryl disulfide, which reacted with styrenes/α-methylstyrene in second step to form β-Hydroxy sulfides with high regioselectivity in good to excellent yields.
