Herein, we report a visible light-induced synthesis of sulfenamides via the oxidative coupling amines with thiols using O2 as an oxidant. The photoreaction was conducted under simple and mild conditions, without any photocatalysts, metals, or additives. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed that sulfur radical is generated through single-electron transfer from in situ-generated anion to light irradiation. This intermediate couples form disulfide, which subsequently undergoes aminolysis produce sulfenamides.
