Abstract

The sulfenylation of nitroalkanes and hydroxyaryls in DMSO using aryl disulfides as sulfenylating reagents was studied. The corresponding arylthionitroalkanes and arylthiohydroxyaryls were obtained in moderate to good yields in very mild conditions, thus improving the reported procedures for the synthesis of these compounds.
