Al. Braga et al., First coupling reaction of terminal alkynes with sulfur and selenium substituted vinylic tosylates catalyzed by Pd(II), SYNLETT, (3), 2001, pp. 369-370
alpha -Chalcogeno vinyl tosylates undergo direct coupling reactions with te
rminal alkynes in the presence of palladium (II) in THF/i-Pr2NH at room tem
perature to give beta -chalcogeneno enynes in good yields.
