Highly Z-selective olefination of acyclic alpha-thio and alpha-selenoketones with ynolates has been achieved, and the theoretical calculations of the transition states in the ring-opening of the intermediates, the beta-lactone enolates, revealed that the torquoselectivity was controlled by the secondary orbital interactions between the sigma orbital of the C-S bond or a lone pair orbital on the S and sigma* orbitals of the breaking C-O bond, and the sigma orbital of the breaking C-O bond or a lone pair orbital on the O on the ring and the sigma* orbitals of the C-S bond. The synthetic applications of the resulting olefins are also shown. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
