Tetrabutylammonium Iodide–Promoted Thiolation of Oxindoles Using Sulfonyl Chlorides as Sulfenylation Reagents

3-Sulfanyloxindoles were synthesised by triphenylphosphine-mediated transition-metal-free thiolation of oxindoles using sulfonyl chlorides as sulfenylation reagents. The above reaction was promoted by iodide anions, which was ascribed to the in situ conversion of sulfenyl chlorides into the more rea...
