A simple protocol for the stereoselective copper-catalyzed hydrothiolation of alkynes under a CO2 atmosphere has been developed. The stereoselectivity is determined by the presence/absence of a CO2 atmosphere. The reaction system is robust and utilizes inexpensive, readily available substrates. A cyclic alkene/carboxylate copper complex intermediate is proposed as the key step in determining the stereoselectivity

A novel method for the synthesis of vinyl sulfides by the decarboxylative cross-coupling of arylpropiolic acids with thiols using copper(I) salts as catalysts has been developed. In the presence of Cul and Cs2CO3, a variety of thiols reacted with arylpropiolic acids to afford the corresponding vinyl sulfides in good to excellent yields with high stereoselectivity for Z-isomers.
