Base-Promoted Synthesis of Vinyl Sulfides from Sulfonium Triflates
Pan Gao, Qingzheng Zhang, Feng Chen
Abstract
A new protocol has been developed for vinyl sulfide synthesis promoted by an alkoxy base under metal-free conditions. In this reaction, aryl and alkenyl sulfonium triflates with diverse functionalities are converted into vinyl sulfides with excellent reactivity. This transformation features mild and safe reaction conditions that avoid catalyst, transition metal, high-pressure gas, and high reaction temperature without compromising efficiency.
