The Newman-Kwart rearrangement is perhaps the quintessential method for the synthesis of thiophenols from the corresponding phenol. However, the high thermal conditions required for the rearrangement of the requisite O-aryl carbamothioates often leads to decomposition. Herein, we present a general strategy for catalysis of O-aryl carbamothioates to S-aryl carbamothioates using catalytic quantities of a commercially available organic single-electron photooxidant. Importantly, this reaction is facilitated at ambient temperatures.
