• Associated context:

  A possible mechanism for the Fe(Ⅲ)-catalysed Markovnikov hydrothiolation of styrenes is depicted in Scheme 3. This mechanistic proposal is based on the well-known capability of iron(Ⅲ) to activate concomitantly the benzylic position of double bondsizo] and soft nucleophiles toward additions.
