The sulfenylation of the vinyl C–H bond in ketene dithioacetals leading to the synthesis of polythiolated alkenes is achieved via the promotion of molecular iodine. In addition, alkyl thiols also exhibit tolerance to the C–H bond elaboration reaction for the synthesis of corresponding alkylthiolated ketene dithioacetals.
