Abstract

A simple and mild approach for the synthesis of α-ketothioesters via 1,3-Dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH)/DMSO mediated oxidative thioesterification of alkenes has been developed. Various of α-ketothioesters products were produced in moderate to good yields under metal-free conditions. And this method features readily available starting materials and broad substrate scope. Moreover, a plausible mechanism was proposed based on the methyl bromide captured experiment.
