Photocatalytic C-H Disulfuration for the Preparation of Indolizine-3-disulfides.

A photocatalytic C-H disulfuration of indolizines was developed, giving an approach to a wide variety of indolizine-3-disulfides with good yields. Trisulfide dioxides were explored as a high-efficient disulfuration reagent. This disulfuration reaction could be scaled up to grams.
