Abstract

The conjugate addition is one of the efficient methods in organic synthesis for the formation of carbon–carbon, carbon–sulfur, and carbon–nitrogen bonds. 1 Among various nucleophilic additions, the conjugate addition of thiols to various unsaturated systems to form a carbon–sulfur bond is of much importance, as it comprises a key reaction in the biosynthesis and the synthesis of several biologically active compounds. 2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e and 2f A number of ...
