Abstract
A manganese-catalyzed regioselective sp(3) C-S bond formation through C-C bond cleavage of cyclobutanols is described. A variety of primary and secondary alkyl thioethers are efficiently prepared under mild reaction conditions. The mechanistic pathways involving radical-mediated tandem C-C bond cleavage and C-S bond formation are proposed.
