Abstract

A operationally simple, one-pot for regioselective synthesis of thioether route
directly from phenyl N-sulfonamide by using inexpensive, easily handled trimethylsilyl iodide
as reducing agent, acetonitrile as the solvent is described. Further no catalyst or additive are
required, which avoids contamination from the transition metal catalysts in the products.
