Addition of diaryl disulfides to carbon-carbon multiple bonds was achieved with a catalytic amount of an electrogenerated acid (EGA), which was produced by the electrolysis of Bu4N+B(C6F5)(4)(-)/CH2Cl2. The anti-addition products of two ArS groups across the carbon-carbon multiple bond were obtained in good yields.
