A cheap iron-catalyzed C–C
bond cleavage/thiolation and
selenylation of cycloalkyl hydroperoxides are presented. This redox-neutral
protocol provides efficient access to diverse distal keto-functionalized
thioethers and selenium compounds. Remarkably, only some amounts of
disulfides are required for this transformation.
