A Lewis base/Bronsted acid catalyzed aromatic sulfenylation is reported. These studies demonstrated that the incorporation of electron-rich sulfenyl groups proceeded in the absence of a Lewis base, with kinetic studies indicating an autocatalytic mechanism. The incorporation of electron-poor sulfenyl groups demonstrated little autocatalysis necessitating the use of a Lewis base. This method proved amenable to diverse arenes and heterocycles and was effective in the context of the late-stage functionalization of biologically active small molecules.
