A metal-coordinated thiyl radical was revealed by the electrochemical oxidation of a ruthenium(III)-thiolate in acetone (and related ketones). The subsequent reaction between the radical intermediate and acetone resulted in C-S bond formation and ultimately a ruthenium(III)-thioether product (see picture). A mechanism that involves reaction of the enol tautomer of acetone with the radical is proposed. (Figure Presented)
