An efficient dehydroxythiolation between alcohols and disulfides using the widely abundant cheapest iron as a reaction mediator was developed. The one-pot thiolation proceeded effectively via C-O bond activation with aid of cyanuric chloride (TCT) hydroxyl-activating agent to give corresponding thioethers in modest excellent yields, displaying both wide substrate scope (applicable benzyl alcohol, allyl primary alkyl alcohol) good functional group tolerance. In addition, diselenide also proven be an appropriate for protocol, could subjected scale-up synthesis. Preliminary mechanistic examination revealed that transiently formed TCT-derived ether A, which is generated situ TCT possibly serves pivotal intermediate cross-electrophile thioetherification.
