• studies indicate that thiosulfonates play an important role in the reaction process. Keywords: disulfides; sodium sulfinates; 3-sulfenylchromones; TBAI; thiosulfonates; Introduction Organosulfur compounds containing S–S bonds, often referred to as disulfides, are among the most valuable functional

• (sp2)–H radical sulfenylation of enaminones or chromones has emerged as a popular strategy using various sulfenyl precursors such as thiophenols [38][39][40], sulfonyl hydrazides [41][42], disulfides [43], KSCN [44], S8 [45], methylsulfinyl derivatives [46], sodium sulfinates [47], and thiosulfonates

• alkylsulfinates were also successfully converted to the corresponding disulfides in high yields (2n and 2o). In our synthesis of disulfides, thiosulfonates were also present as intermediates besides forming disulfides. In view of the fact that in the literature above disulfides or thiosulfonates could be

• these conditions the reaction between aryl thiosulfonates with arynes to give sulfones is competitive. Cu(OTf)2 is essential to remove the sulfinate anions in the reaction medium, avoiding side reactions arising from their attack to the electrophilic arynes. The so-obtained products are susceptible of
