Visible light photoredox-catalyzed hydrothiolation of enamides and enecarbamates

Abstract An efficient visible light photoredox-catalyzed, Markovnikov selective, hydrothiolation reaction of enamides and enecarbamates is presented. This protocol is mild and operationally simple. This process provides access to N,S-acetal products from available thiols and a variety of enamides and enecarbamates.
