title: Sulfenylation of β-Diketones Using C-H Functionalization Strategy.
abstract: Sulfenylation of β-diketones is challenging as β-diketones undergo deacylation after sulfenylation in the reaction medium. The sulfenylation of β-diketones without deacylation under metal-free conditions at ambient temperature via a cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) strategy is reported. The resultant products can be further manipulated to form α,α-disubstituted β-diketones and pyrazoles.
