Abstract

In this study, we outline a general method for the construction of various (furyl)methyl disulfides from acetyl-masked disulfide nucleophiles and ene-yne-ketones. This protocol is feathered by metal-free, simple experimental conditions, high efficiency, and scalable potential, which make it attractive and practical.
