Wangzhi Yu, Jian Han, Dongmei Fang, Min Wang, Jian Liao
Abstract
A Pd-catalyzed hydrothiocarbonylation of unactivated terminal alkenes is presented. According to this protocol, aliphatic thioesters were synthesized with exclusive linear selectivity under mild reaction conditions. Good to excellent yields (up to 91% yield), broad substrate scope, broad functional group tolerance, and utility of the method demonstrated the advantages of this protocol.
