Abstract

The conjugate addition of aliphatic and aromatic thiols to ethynyl p-tolyl sulphone (tosylacetylene) has been managed to afford Tosvinyl derivatives chemoselectively (in the presence of oxygen nucleophiles) and stereoselectively (isomers Z) in practically quantitative yields. The conditions of choice are: catalytic amounts of Et3N (only 0.5–1.0 mol%), a reaction temperature around 0° C and, for the less acidic thiols, CF3CH2OH or ...
