Abstract

Abstract The bis (triflimide) iron (III) salt catalyzes the hydrothiolation of styrenes in a Markovnikov fashion with good selectivities and high yields. After isolation, different benzylic thioethers are obtained. This iron (III) catalyst is unique in terms of regioselectivity and represents a sustainable and economic alternative to those processes based on stoichiometric reagents.
