Abstract

A new reaction for O2 fixation is rationally demonstrated, in which radical thiolation/oxygenation of activated alkenes proceeds spontaneously at room temperature with no need for any additives. EPR and operando IR experiments revealed that O2 serves as the initiator to trigger this radical reaction and that autoinductive processes are the critical factor to drive the reaction.
