Abstract

Abstract Water-promoted hydrothiolation and hydroamination of ethyl propiolate leading to highly regioselective and stereoselective formation of thioacrylates and β-enamino esters in excellent yields, by a simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly reaction procedure without employing any hazardous reagent or solvent is reported.
