The first example of directly using abundant, stable, and inexpensive thiophenols as sulfenylating agents for the construction of valuable and structually diverse 4-sulfenylisocoumarins under electrochemical conditions is described. Compared to the existing methods, this approach avoids the use of toxic, moisture-sensitive, pre-functionalized reagents and significantly broadens the substrate scope.
