Abstract
An efficient copper(I) iodide-catalyzed sulfenylation of maleimides and related 3-indolylmaleimides with thiols has been developed in the presence of fluoroboric acid. Several 3-thiomaleimides and 3-indolyl-4-thiomaleimides were obtained with good yields under ligand-free conditions. The methods are simple, practical and show good functional group tolerance.
