We have successfully
developed a green and efficient multicomponent
reaction protocol to synthesize S-aryl dithiocarbamates
under visible light. Most appealingly, the reaction can proceed smoothly
without adding any transition-metal catalysts, ligands, or photocatalysts
while minimizing chemical wastes and metal residues in the end products.
The advantages of this method meet the requirements of sustainable
and green synthetic chemistry, and it provides a straightforward way
to create valuable S-aryl dithiocarbamates.
