A highly practical method to access β-sulfido carbonyl compounds was developed, which could be conducted without any expensive reagent, special apparatus/technique, and no requirement of metal catalysts. β-Sulfido carbonyl compounds were formed at room temperature, in short time and with high chemoselectivity in good to excellent yields. A plausible mechanism for the role of Rongalite, as a promoter for the cleavage of disulfides generating thiolate anions that then undergo facile thia-Michael addition to α,β-unsaturated ketones and esters is proposed.
