Abstract
Comprehensive SummaryA greener and more convenient alternative to traditional methods for the generation of thiyl radical as hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalyst is developed, using molecular oxygen to oxidize thiol without the need for chemical initiators or light irradiation. The thiol/oxygen catalysis enables selective and efficient difunctionalization of borane.
