摘要
A highly practical method to access unsymmetrical and symmetrical thiosulfonates in moderate to excellent yields has been developed through NBS-promoted sulfenylation of sulfinates with disulfides. The present process enables the use of two RS in RSSR and shows broad functional group tolerance, which represents an atom-economical and practical procedure for the synthesis of thiosulfonates. A plausible mechanism for the role of NBS as a promoter for the cleavage of disulfides generating N-（organothio）succinimide that then undergos facile sulenylation with sulfinates is proposed.
