enabled a direct desulfurization of thiols to access electrophilic
alkyl radicals assisted by commercially inexpensive triethyl
phosphite reagent. Styrenes and aliphatic olefins bearing
varies of functional groups were all well tolerated under the
mild reaction conditions with high regioselectivity.
