Epoxides have been transformed in good yields to alkenes by a process involving (i) ring-opening of the epoxide with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, (ii) oxidation of the derived s-hydroxy thioethers to the corresponding sulfones, and (iii) thermal or base-promoted fragmentation of these sulfones to alkenes. The stereochemistry of the starting epoxide is transfer-red faithfully to the alkene product, because

We report the oxyalkynylation of thiiranes and thietanes using ethynylbenziodoxolonereagents (EBXs) to readily access functionalized building blocks bearing an alkynyl, a benzoate, and an iodide group. The reaction proceeds with high atom efficiency most likely through an alkynyl-episulfonium intermediate. The transformation is copper-catalyzed and compatible with a large array of thiiranes and thietanes
