Abstract
Nucleophilic addition to thioalkynes was investigated under various catalytic conditions with gold(I) complexes being identified as the optimal catalysts. Structural evaluation of the product revealed an unexpected cis-addition, arising from a gold-associated thioketene intermediate. Based on this interesting mechanistic insight, a gold(I)-catalyzed thioether addition to thioalkynes was developed as a novel approach to prepare ketene dithioacetals with good yields and high efficiency.Entities:
