Abstract
Herein, an iodine-promoted reductive sulfenylation reaction of ketones with disulfides has been developed. This method provides an approach for synthesizing unsymmetrical alkyl-alkyl and alkyl-aryl sulfides in a single step. Investigation of the reaction mechanism revealed that ketones play a dual role in this process. They react with disulfides to produce vinyl thioethers and act as effective organic hydride donors, reducing the number of vinyl thioethers that are formed in situ. This study expands the range of applications of ketones in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Catalyst-free Markovnikov-selective hydrothiolation of unactivated alkenes still remains a great challenge. Herein, we develop a catalyst/metal/solvent-free methodology for the Markovnikov hydrothiolation of unactivated alkenes with in situ prepared dithiocarbamic acids, providing a wide array of alkyl dithiocarbamates. A variety of terminal, internal, cyclic, and acyclic unactivated alkenes were applied successfully in this protocol. This three-component thiol-ene reaction can be considered as a new family of click reactions.

Abstract
Herein, we present the first examples of amino acid decarboxylation via photochemically activated carbonyl sulfide (COS) elimination of the corresponding thioacids. This method offers a mild approach for the decarboxylation of amino acids, furnishing N-alkyl amino derivatives. The methodology was compatible with amino acids displaying both polar and hydrophobic sidechains and was tolerant towards widely used amino acid-protecting groups. The compatibility of the reaction with continuous-flow conditions demonstrates the scalability of the process.

Abstract
Five-membered ring systems are ubiquitous throughout natural products and synthetic therapeutics, and thus, efficient methods to access this essential scaffold are required. Herein, we report the thioacid-mediated, 5-exo-trig cyclization of various 1,6-dienes, with high yields of up to 98%. The labile thioester functionality can be exploited to generate a free thiol residue which can be used as a functional handle or removed entirely to provide the traceless cyclized product.

Abstract
A light-triggered synthesis of thio-functionalized pyridines is demonstrated using γ-ketodinitriles, thiols, and eosin Y as the photocatalyst. The reaction proceeds via the selective attack on one of the cyano groups by an in situ generated thiyl radical. The reaction also proceeds with nearly equal efficiency using direct sunlight. Large-scale synthesis and a few useful synthetic transformations of the substituted pyridines are also performed.

Abstract
A highly regio- and diastereo-selective Brønsted acid-catalyzed tandem hydrothiolation/Friedel-Crafts reaction of linear 1,3-dienes has been developed for the first time, which provides a metal-free and atom-economic way of constructing thiochromane derivatives. Meanwhile, by changing the solvent, 4,3-addition hydrothiolation of 1,3-dienes was also discovered. The origin of the observed selectivity was explained by density functional theory calculations.
