A coupled catalysis was performed using a riboflavin-derived organocatalyst and molecular iodine, which successfully promoted the aerobic oxidation of thiols to disulfides under metal-free mild conditions. The activation of molecular oxygen occurred smoothly at room temperature through the transfer of electrons from the iodine catalysis to the biomimetic flavin catalysis, which formed the basis of the green oxidative synthesis of disulfides from thiols.

We demonstrated that the shelf-stable reagent trifluoromethyl tolueneselenosulfonate can be involved in radical trifluoromethylselenylation. Upon visible-light irradiation, the homolysis of the reagent could take place at room temperature. This finding is explored for unprecedented C(sp2)–SeCF3 and C(sp3)–SeCF3 processes under transition-metal-free conditions. Mechanistic investigations, including cyclic voltammetry, luminescence measurement, and EPR studies, allowed the proposal of plausible mechanisms.1 Introduction.2 Reactivity of Reagent I with Diazonium Salts3 Reactivity of Reagent I with Alkenes and Alkynes4 Conclusion
