Ag. Martinez et al., REGIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF ALKENYL SULFIDES FROM ALKENYL TRIFLATES USING PALLADIUM(0) AS CATALYST, Synlett, (7), 1994, pp. 561-562
Secondary alkenyl triflates 2, easily obtained from the corresponding
ketones 1, react with lithium thiolates in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 t
o form secondary alkenyl sulfides 3 regioselectively (but not fully st
ereospecifically) in good to excellent yields.
